What's the difference between the 500g and 2kg royal icing?
Both contain the same premium formula - just choose based on your needs. The 500g pack is perfect for home bakers and small projects. The 2kg pack offers better value for professionals or large projects like wedding cakes.
How much water do I add to royal icing mix?
For standard consistency, add 75ml cooled boiled water per 500g of mix. Beat on low speed for 5 minutes until soft peaks form. Adjust consistency: add more water for flooding, less for stiff peaks. Always use cooled boiled water for best results.
Can I colour the white royal icing?
Add ProGel food colouring gel once mixed. The white base gives true, vibrant colours. For softer eating icing, add 1 teaspoon glycerine per 500g - especially good for cake covering.
How long does mixed royal icing last?
Properly stored in an airtight container or double-wrapped bowl, refrigerated royal icing lasts up to one week. Always remove any dried icing from bowl edges before storing. Remix briefly before use if separation occurs
What exactly is Isomalt?
Isomalt is a sugar substitute that melts clear and sets hard like glass. Unlike regular sugar, it doesn't yellow when heated and resists humidity better, making decorations last much longer.
Ready-tempered vs regular isomalt - which should I choose?
Ready-tempered isomalt (125g) is pre-processed for convenience - just melt and use! Perfect for small projects. Regular isomalt (500g) requires tempering but offers more control and better value for larger projects or professional use.
