Angel81 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 yes still trying to figure out how to do that and I'm gonna bake some cupcakes on x'mas day for weekend parties....the recipe you gave for icing is royal icing or normal? if its normal, can tell how you made the royal? you going this sunday to tulips place? I used royal icing (a recipe that didn't raw egg whites). U can actually goggle royal icing and lots of diff recipes will come out. Just pick the one u prefer. I tink normal icing should be those that pple use to frost cakes bah. Not too sure abt the many different types of icing still. I may not be able to go leh. I'm trying to shift my frens' gathering fr sun to sat, but there's afew that may not be able to meet on sat. Still trying and waiting for all response fr my frens.

Angel81 1 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 angel:what's your royal icing recipe? http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sugar-Cookie-Icing/Detail.aspx I used different extracts for different colours, instead of almond for all colours. Get those clear corn syrup if u intend to ice in white colour. I saved cost by using my leftover corn syrup fr making mooncakes, which was golden in colour, and the white icing turned light cream in colour. There are many other icing recipes there. Choose the one u prefer. This one is my preferred one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erh, wat kind of cookies are u looking at? Sugar cookies, butter cookies or cookies with stuff like raisins/nuts/etc in it? If it's sugar cookies to ice, can search in the website I gave u above. There's lots. Just pick the one u prefer. I used the one from Joy of Baking. Just goggle "corn syrup" and u can read abt the different types of corn syrup. I usually get mine from Phoon Huat. Never tried to search for the clear corn syrup in ntuc b4. Can try those larger ntuc. May have. Edited December 23, 2009 by Angel81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ur oven can take 2 trays? 2 trays will be good, just rotate the trays in the middle of the baking time. If u got 4 trays, even better. Take out trays, pop in the other trays on standby. That was wat I did. so...if interested can make order hor....pong chang pong chan lah.....hahahahahha Cheers! Hehe, will try lar. But most prob I'll be trying my hand at making those goodies for the festive periods. Must maximize use of my kitchen leh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
