Anjaligg, when I first started cookie-ing, I used a RI receipe that I found on the web, and hated the taste, so moved to TG only. BUT, then was convinced to try Antonia's RI, and it's wonderful. I do still flood with TG if I have a lot to do, but detail in Antonia's RI. Give it a shot, it's wonderful to work with, and tastes good. Another alternative is RBC, I LOVE that stuff!
TracyLH is actually the one who convinced me to try Antonia's and I'm so glad I did
. It really is tops in flavor and workability! you can add any flavor to it, I sometimes use almond, or whatever works with my theme.
Side Note....CC technology has passed me up during my hiatus from cookie-ing, how cool is the feature telling you what the abbreviations are!?!
And the info-at-a-glance of My Photos? And all the other cool features. All that down time during maintenance was well worth it. Kudos to CC!!
Another fan of Antonia's royal here. I use 1tsp real vanilla extract, 1/2tsp real almond extract and sometimes will add 1/2tsp butter flavor. I dont always add it because its artificial and I try to use as little fake stuff as possible. I think you can taste the difference. My kids love the icing and are always asking if they can lick the bowl.
