Ingredients
- tablespoons Royal Icing:
- 6 tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 17 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar (about 5 boxes)
- Green and violet food coloring (or your favorite colors)
Preparation
Step 1
In a large heatproof bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon water, corn syrup and almond extract. Once incorporated, slowly whisk in the sugar until fully combined. Alternately, slowly mix together in a stand mixer and transfer to a heatproof bowl prior to icing cakes.
Divide the icing into 3 heatproof bowls. To make a pale green color, add a little less than 1 drop green food coloring to the first bowl. To the second bowl, add 1 drop purple coloring for a lavender color. And leave the final bowl white, or add another color, as desired
