Color Flow Icing Recipe 425

EASY SUGAR COOKIE ICING

Steps:

• Beat all ingredients together until the icing becomes thick, shiny and smooth. 5-8 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 8-10 minutes at high speed with a handheld mixer.
• Use medium consistency icing to make outlines. Add 1/8 tsp water for every 1/2 cup of stiff icing base. Use a flat utensil such as a small silicone spatula, angled spatula or straight spatula to mix. Stir slowly using a figure 8 motion until reaching soft or medium peaks. Avoid beating or mixing vigorously. Ice the outline of each cookie using a piping bag. This consistency is also great for detailed cookie decorating.
• Use thin consistency icing for covering a cookie. Add 1/2 teaspoon of water for every 1/2 cup of base icing. Use the same mixing instructions for a medium consistency. Flood the inside of each cookie using a piping bag.
• To check for correct thin consistency, take some icing on a spatula and drop it back down into the bowl. If it sinks after a full count of 10, then the thin consistency icing is correct. If not, add a couple drops of water at a time to your icing until reaching the proper consistency.
• Add food coloring using a toothpick. It's best to color your icing before diluting it to flooding consistency, as liquid coloring may contribute to watering down the consistency.
• Add additional flavor with liquid flavorings like vanilla extract or almond extract with 1/4 teaspoon at a time. Taste as you go until you reach the desired flavor. Like coloring, add these flavors before thinning the icing.

COLOR FLOW ICING RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• 1. With an electric mixer, blend all ingredients on low speed for 5 min; for hand mixer use high speed. Color flow icing crusts quickly, so keep it covered with a damp cloth while using. 2. To thin icing for filling in, add 1/2 t water per 1/4 c of icing. color flow is ready for filling in outlines when a small amount dropped back into the mix takes a count of 10 to disappear. 3. Stir in color as desired. Dried color flow will fade when exposed to fluorescent and bright sunlight, so keep covered until ready to serve. 4. Allow color flow pieces to dry 2-3 days or longer with high humidity. Remove wax paper backing to use on cakes or cookies.
