Shine on Royal Icing!
Jan 04, 2006 | From the kitchen of Rose
i just consulted with my friend hans welker who is head instructor of the bread baking kitchen at the french culinary institute and he said that a little glucose (which is a thick syrup, thicker than corn syrup) would do the trick as well as gycerine but if you can't find glucose, use a little corn syrup.

Hi Lupe,
We ask are you making one of Rose's cookies so we can see what decorated cookie you are making?
Are you saying that the cookies should have as shine to them, but you are not achieving it?
If you need a recipe for Royal Icing, Rose has it in Rose's Christmas Cookies and The Cake Bible.

Hi Rose,
I used your royal icing recipe from Rose's Christmas Cookies to decorate sugar cookies for my upcoming wedding. I used a flooding technique on them and it's made for a much too sweet cookie. Is there any way to tone down the sweetness in royal icing? Would lemon juice work?
Thanks!

stephanie, i've never had this happen. perhaps there is something in your environment that caused it. i really can't give you any advice on this.

I had recently made a gingerbread house and used royal icing on it. I made the ginger bread house a week ago and now the icing is starting to turn browny. Why is that? Is it alright to eat it?
