Hi! This seems very simple. Does this icing hold up well since there is milk in it? Is it ok to leave out for a couple of days?

hi , is this a good recipe to use for cookie arrangments .. thanks for any help

I used this several times and yes it does hold up well arobison, I left out and they still are great. I use this recipe for painting on my cookies.

Can you use this recipe for detail work like RI?

i love this recipe, covering cookies right down to details it works great! thanks for sharing!! oh.........and it taste really really yummy :)

It seems like there is not enough milk to make the sugar smooth. Am I doing something wrong?

I have noticed in alot of other recipes they suggest adding white coloring to help avoid the milky haze. Do I need to do that with this recipe or does it color fine without it?

I have used this recipe for years it is always a hit. I don't use it for fancy decorating just to glaze the cookie and maybe a few swirl designs :) These are the changes I make to get the consistency I want: 1/2-1Tbs milk (depending on if using whole, skim, etc) 1/2-1Tbs corn syrup 1/8 tsp vanilla 1/8 tsp lemon extract

I have never tried it with almond but I think I will tonight! Thanks for posting the recipe. Happy Baking!

I am loving this recipe... new to cake decorating and new to this type of cookie decorating and am already using it on bouquets... love the glossiness!

Is this icing still soft once u let it sit out I want something like RI but soft like buttercream when u bit into it does this make sense ?
