What a great icing!!! This is THE royal icing to use for any of your decorating needs! It works perfectly. If you don't want to bite into an overly sweet cookie, just don't use too much or too thick of a layer of this icing to decorate your cookies.

Gosh, what nice icing. I was also a bit skeptical in the beginning because of the runny mixture, but it poofed up beautifully after several minutes. I substituted a bit of lemon juice for some of the water and it was a nice, subtle sweet-tart taste. It went perfectly on the lemon ginger biscotti I made for tonight's Christmas party. Thanks for a goody.

This was easy to make and worked well to decorate our cookies (sugar cookies #188686, iced with glaze #188685). I recommend halving the recipe - I halved it and still ended up with LOTS leftover.

I was worried about this recipe when I first started mixing the ingredients together and it seemed so thin, but then...sure enough, after just a few minutes the frosting began to set and fluff up like you wouldn't believe. Such a beautiful, fluffy icing, perfect for decorating my gingerbread men!
