It's been awhile since I took a Wilton class and in course 3 it tells you to make the royal icing into medium and thin consistency for the flowers. My question is how much water do I add per cup of stiff to make the consistency that I need. I lost all my information from class 2 due to a flood. Thanks in advance for the help.

I've heard (and do) that you should only add water by the drop, and then you can get your consistency just by checking it.

There's no set amount....it's just testing as you go.

HTH!

Okay I pulled my Wilton class 3 book out and this is all I could find. The original recipe makes stiff icing. 3 Tbsp of meringue powder, 1 pound powdered sugar, and 5-6 Tbsp of water. Then it says "for medium or thin icing consistency, add water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached."

Sorry there isn't more info.

Hi, SelphieAerith, welcome to the forum!

Just an FYI for you -- you can get all that information by searching the Wilton website at www.wilton.com.
