I can't seem to master a good batch of royal icing. I have been using the recipe from the Wilton classes that I took. My icing usually is very thick. When I try adding water (a tiny drop at a time) it just gets gummy and is not easy to work with. Any suggestions for making this stuff?

You may not be beating it long enough. In this humidity, I usually have to beat my royal for a few more minutes - sometimes a total of 15-20 minutes. It's done when it has soft peaks. It should be light and fluffy and a bit stiff. The addition of water will thin it down.
