Glossy Royal Icing Secret

How to Make Icing Shiny & Glossy After It's Dried? I received this question... well, it feels like a thousand times and so I decided to share some of my tips on how to achieve it with you. ✅Remember, it’s normal for icing to become matte once it dries- that’s how it should be! But these are the main things that give this glossy finish to the cookies: ✨ icing recipe: the icing that you use should be FRESH & should be made correctly. ✨ when you color&mix your icing, don’t add too much food colorings into it. When you decorate with, let’s say, black colored icing, it’s almost impossible to have it shiny after it dries

❗️BUT - there’s another way to have really glossy bright colored cookies! Read till the end & you’ll learn the way to do that! ✨once you flooded the cookie, you need to dry it asap! Here are a few ways: - in an oven: use the lowest temperature setting (95-105F). Better if you have a convection oven so you could have the fan going. Don’t close the oven door. - in a dehydrator- choose the lowest temperature and put cookies inside for the same amount of time. - with a table fan - not my favorite way, but better then nothing. ✨ ...and finally- my favorite way! Flood a cookie with fresh white icing, let it dry for 5-10 minutes, then color it using an airbrush- and then dry it in an oven/dehydration/other way. As for me, that’s the best way to get glossy cookies. I hope this post will help you! If so, please let me know in comments if you want me to do more informative posts like that.
