Have 2nd class of course 2 tonite have to make the royal icing. Instructor said if we have a KA to use that to make it. Ok I understand that but....my question is which attachment do I use the pastry one or the whisk one?? Sorry if its a stupid question but I really am new to using the KA.
Thank you to everyone here for all your wonderful information.

Hey, Dawn:
I use the whisk attachment to beat royal icing. There aren't any dumb questions

There are no dumb questions at all!!! I use the whisk attachment too to make royal icing.

Eatdessert1st and Kelly...thank you so much for answering me .

I'm so glad you asked that question. I have only made royal icing once and wondered the same thing. The recipe I have says to mix it for 12 minutes. Is 12 minutes really neccessary? It seems like such a long time.

it says to beat till it loses its shine

so if it doesn't take 12 minutes to lose its shine then stop...

but what I don't understand is why you wouldn't want the shine LOL

I like shiny it's perty
