Tips

Using light corn syrup gives the royal icing a softer bite, preventing it from being too hard.
Always use gel food coloring, not liquid, especially white gel food coloring, as it helps prevent color bleed when decorating cookies.
Do not overmix the icing, as this will cause air bubbles. Mix for about three minutes.
When not using the icing, cover it with a wet paper towel to keep it moist.
