My cake decorating class was cancelled two weeks ago due to weather. When we met on Wednesday evening, we started working with two new types of icing: royal icing and color flow icing. I'll show you my color flow icing project tomorrow.
Royal icing is made with confectioner's sugar, meringue powder and water. Using the royal icing, we made two new types of flowers: mums and violets. We learned how to make violet leaves too. If we want, we can make these flowers to use on our final cake for the Level II Course. When the royal icing dries, it's very hard, and you can simply pick the flowers up and place them on your cake.
I'm going to use my extra royal icing here at home to make more violets and mums. I'll color my icing and make them to be used on my final cake. Royal icing is much different than buttercream. Unfortunately, it doesn't taste nearly as good. Maybe I should work with royal icing more often so that I don't eat as much icing as I use to decorate! Thanks for stopping by!
