How to Make Royal Icing

After scraping down the sides of the bowl, restart the mixer and beat the mixture on medium speed until very thick, shiny, stiff and white. This should take about 7-10 minutes, possibly much longer with a hand mixer.

Check the texture to ensure that it is suitable for your needs. If you require a stiffer icing, add a little more powdered sugar at this point.
