Royal icing is a hard white icing, made from egg white and icing sugar (mix or pure). A little addition of an acidic substance like lemon…
Uk amateur Second attempt, cracked it. I used distilled vinegar this year (uk white vinegar name) and swapped to powdered egg white. No breakages at all this year. Only fault was used Tesco brand fondant, white discoloured, red bleed into royal icing hair turning it pink. Going to try modelling paste for Santa this year.
sorry forgot to ask, would fondant work just as well as the icing with tylos
Icing with tylose has no fat and will dry rigid fondant will not.
absolutely beautiful, think I would need a lot of practice at piping icing before I would attempt something like this as I am just a beginner at making decorations although I did make the chocolate magnolia but piping is something else.
Thank you for the amazing tutorials they make me want to learn more about decorating the cakes I make
I made this last Christmas and it was so nice working on your explanation. Thanks Mr. Yener for sharing your experience!
Thanks
Fabulous tutorial! I never would have dreamed that it was possible to use royal icing for something like this and can see many other uses for the royal icing + tylose technique. Thank you!
But why royal ice with tylose?
