Additional tips for using Master Elites in Royal Icing, from Grace!
- Use a vanilla royal icing for the best results.
- Activate with water (use back of spoon/spatula to mix/activate before mixing into the icing).
- Use a dropper to add water (not a spray bottle! The color will go everywhere!)
- Start with a thicker consistency than you ultimately need (since you’ll be adding water to activate); I started with a stiff peak piping consistency.
- Color to a couple shades lighter than you ultimately need.
- Once colored to desired shade, allow to sit for a least 15-30 minutes - sometimes “streaks” will appear in this time if you haven’t incorporated the color well enough at the beginning and then you can give the icing another good mix before using.
- For the purposes of this demo I used 8 ounces (or 1 cup) of icing for each color. For the most part I used a total of 1/4 tsp for each color except the Burgundy which needed an additional 1/16 tsp and this Autumn Gold that needed just 1/8 tsp.
