The first step is to start with your favorite recipe for homemade frosting. Try this ridiculously easy, four-ingredient buttercream frosting. Not only does it taste incredible on cupcakes, cookies, cakes, or even right out of the bowl yes, we checked , but it freezes well, too!
Step 1: Using a medium bowl, mix the powdered sugar and butter with an electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk. And that will require you to pour the icing into a piping bag. Have you tried substituting cane sugar with any of the natural sweeteners; i. Allulose or Swerve Confectioners Sugar, to make Royal icing?
I am trying to eliminate added sugar from our diet. My husband has diabetes. But a friend — baker uses swerve and she said it works great. My daughter is allergic to Red dye in food coloring. I have found a small amount of dye free food coloring but am looking for recommendations on products that have been tried. So many colors require some red added to it and it is a challenge to make the other colors with using only dye free. You can also try using pulverized freeze dry fruits, like cranberries, raspberries, strawberries or beet powder.
With most natural food colors it is super hard to achieve really vibrant colors and so often using pulverized freeze dry fruit can help achieve brighter colors. Would you say that I can freeze white icing and then add the food coloring after its thawed?
Hi Kaitlyn, May I ask when is your party? Meringue based royal will be good for at least 3 weeks and up to 4 weeks, stored in the fridge. When freezing it you can do it either way. If you freeze a fresh batch, freeze it thick, either colored or uncolored. Then let it defrost and see what it looks like in terms of consistency that you need for your decorating.
Have fun decorating. The party is the 2nd weekend in December, so if I make it next week like I was planning, I can just leave it in the fridge? That way I could color it and then adjust consistency the day before the party. Hello — When you seal the piping bags before freezing , can I use my heat sealer vs. If so, can I just leave it sealed and not have to use a twisty or rubber band? Hi Hani! I have one question. I kept my icing in a freezer for a few weeks and when I took it out it was still soft.
All my royal icing freezes rock hard. It may be possible to freeze leftover Swiss Meringue frosting this way, but it may change the texture, since that type of buttercream is actually made with egg whites.

Once you lay down a square of it, just drop a couple blobs of buttercream on top. Just plop down about a cup or cup and a half. You can then just pop them into a freezer ziplock bag, squeeze as much air out as you can, label the bag and then pop them in the freezer.
When you get ready to use it, just pull it out of the freezer, unwrap it and pop it in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, or my favorite press-n-seal wrap, and then just let it defrost on the counter. Make homemade cookies or grab yourself some premade cookie dough like I did, bake, add buttercream and another cookie.
So good! You can add a bit more milk or cream to your buttercream icing and thin it down just a little, or just heat your buttercream up a bit in the microwave. You can either spread it on sugar cookies, or just dunk the top of the cookies into the icing glaze.
Yes, I know that cinnamon rolls usually come with that little container of icing, but seriously…is that ever enough? Grab your leftover buttercream, add a touch of cinnamon to it, heat it up, just slightly, and drizzle it over your cinnamon rolls. Go and check out the recipe here: Peanut Butter Truffles.
