Q. I can do Glace Icing, but I figure it should be a bit more substantial than that, yet I dont want that rock hard stuff that breaks your teeth when you try to bite it.....


Answer
Royal Icing
1 kg (2 lb)icing sugar
5 mediumegg whites
2 x 5 ml spoon (2 tsp)lemon juice for firm icing
OR
2 x 5 ml spoon (2 tsp)glycerine may be added to keep icing soft

Sufficient for top of 20-23 cm (8-9 inch) cake
1Lightly beat egg whites with glycerine or lemon juice.
2Sieve icing sugar, add half to egg whites, beat well.
3Add remainder of sugar gradually stirring well until stiff enough to stand in peaks in the bowl.
