Some other tips:
- Use a vanilla royal icing for the best results
- Activate with water (use back of spoon/spatula to mix/activate before mixing into the icing)
- Use a dropper to add water (not a spray bottle! The color will go everywhere!)
- Start with a thicker consistency than you ultimately need (since you’ll be adding water to activate); I started with a stiff peak piping consistency
- Color to a couple shades lighter than you ultimately need
- Allow the colors to DEVELOP for an least 1 hour (overnight is even better)
- Once colored to desired shade, allow to sit for a least 15-30 minutes - sometimes “streaks” will appear in this time if you haven’t incorporated the color well enough at the beginning and then you can give the icing another good mix before using
- For the purposes of this demo I used 8 ounces (or 1 cup) of icing for each color. For the most part I used a total of 1/4 tsp for each color except the Burgundy which needed an additional 1/16 tsp and this Autumn Gold that needed just 1/8 tsp.

- Sterling Pearls (metallic dusts like gold): https://bit.ly/3AN5Quh
- DiamonDust (edible glitter!!): https://bit.ly/3sqtZnF
- Elite color (powdered food coloring that’s great for painting and dry dusting): https://bit.ly/3xVsb7l
- Master Elites (highly pigmented powders for coloring icing…a MUST for red and black!!): https://bit.ly/3k1L8Af
***Please note: my LEMON royal icing recipe does NOT work with all of the Master Elite colors due to the acidity of the lemon juice – a VANILLA (non-lemon) recipe is best used for the Master Elite pinks, otherwise I use all of their other colors with my lemon recipe (I use Wilton pink with my lemon recipe)
