This is a great royal icing recipe. It starts to crust shortly after making it—so make sure to cover with a damp cloth until ready to use. After 24 hours decorations have dried to the touch, but have a relatively soft interior. If rock-hard decorations are desired, it is best to let dry for several days. It can be flavored with any flavoring.
