Royal Icing

Cultural Context

Royal icing is a classic icing used in cake decorating, particularly for intricate designs and decorations on cookies and cakes. It dries hard, making it ideal for creating detailed decorations that can last for a long time. This icing is commonly used during festive occasions, especially around holidays like Christmas and Easter, where decorated cookies are a tradition.
