Glossy Royal Icing

Glossy Royal Icing

I received this royal icing recipe with corn syrup from a professional baker. I prefer to use this instead of a regular royal icing recipe with egg whites. It hardens nicely and is glossy rather than matte, like regular royal icing. Use almond, orange, or lemon extract, whatever you prefer.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed

Directions

Step 1
Stir together warm water, corn syrup, and almond extract in a small bowl until corn syrup and extract have dissolved.

Step 2
Place confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and pour in corn syrup mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until royal icing is smooth. Store in a lidded container for up to a week; stir thoroughly before using.

Tips

For thick icing, which you will need for outlining and details, add more confectioners' sugar until icing is quite thick. Icing can be thinned with a few drops of water to make a glaze for filling in outlines or dipping cookies.
