Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shiny Royal Icing.
Step 1
To start making your delicious royal icing, grab a small bowl and mix together some warm water, light corn syrup, and a splash of almond extract.
Step 2
Give it a good stir until everything is nicely blended and the corn syrup and extract are fully dissolved.
Step 3
Next, take a large mixing bowl and add in your confectioners' sugar.
Step 4
Pour that lovely corn syrup mixture right over the sugar, and watch the magic begin! Now, using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed.
Step 5
You'll want to keep going until it transforms into a smooth and glossy icing that’s perfect for decorating.
Step 6
If you find that your icing is a bit too thick for your liking, don’t worry! Just add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach that ideal consistency.
Step 7
Once your royal icing is just right, transfer it to a lidded container for storage.
Step 8
It will stay fresh for up to a week, but remember to give it a good stir before you use it again.

Enjoy the process and let your creativity shine as you decorate!.
