What is the basic rule for decorating your cakes with royal icing?
It’s called a 10 seconds rule (although some say it should be 15) and it lets you check if the consistency of the icing is as it should be. All you have to do is to grab a butter knife and drag its tip through the surface of your icing, letting the knife go approximately 2,5 cm deep. Then slowly count to 10. If the surface of the icing blends back in 10 seconds, your icing is ready to use.
And if you are serious about baking, make sure you have all the cake pans that you need, a heavy rolling pin, a stylish apron and kitchen gloves that will protect your hands from the heat. Well, the gloves are really important as you will need your hands to decorate your cake!
