Icing Consistency:

If the consistency of your icing just isn’t right, your decorations won’t be right either. Just a few drops of liquid could make a substantial amount of difference to your decorating results. Many elements can affect your icing consistency, such as humidity, temperature, ingredients and equipment. You may require to try using different icing consistencies when decorating to determine what works for you.

As a all-purpose guideline, in case you are having trouble creating the decorations you want and you feel your icing is simply too thin, add a little more confectioners’ sugar; if you are feeling your icing is just too thick, add a little more liquid. In royal icing recipes, if adding more than 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar to thicken icing, also add 1-2 additional teaspoons of Meringue Powder.
Below I have outlined a range of icings and how they will work in your cake decorating. The numerous supplies and equipment here can be purchased at stores that sell Wilton cake decorating supplies.

Option 1: Stiff Icing
Stiff icing is used for decorations for example flowers with upright petals, like roses, carnations and sweet peas. Stiff icing also creates your figure piping and stringwork. If icing is not stiff enough, flower petals will droop. If icing cracks when piped out, icing might be too stiff. Add light corn syrup to icing used for stringwork to give strings greater flexibility so they will not break.

Option 2: Medium Icing
Medium icing is needed for decorations like stars, borders and flowers with flat petals. If ever the icing is too stiff or too thin, you may not have the uniformity that characterizes these decorations. Middle to thin icing is needed for icing your cake. Add water or milk to the icing recipe to achieve the correct consistency.

Option 3: Thin Icing
Thin icing is used for decorations as in printing and writing, vines and leaves. Foliage will be pointier, vines won’t break and writing will flow easily if you add 1-2 teaspoons light corn syrup to each cup of icing.
