Just wondering if it is possible to flavor royal icing with vanilla or mint or orange flavor? Would that be gross? I thought of it because I saw a recipe for those butter mints. And I started thinking about how royal icing has all that confectioners sugar (like the buttermints, except no butter of course) which results in a sickeningly sweet flavor. If I make all my cake flowers out of royal icing, as I'm considering to do in the future, then they will look pretty but taste gross.
I guess if this has been done before, I would have already seen a recipe for it. But stupid questions sometimes are not so stupid!
absolutely!!! Vanilla will boost the sweetness, but surely adds a nice flavor. I love the taste of my royal icing where I sub 1 Tbsp lemon juice for 1 Tbsp water. It cuts the sweetness way down and makes a nice contrast on my sugar cookies. Orange would be really yummy, too I think.
