Royal Icing

I simply made some Royal Frosting.
Whip three Egg Whites until it starts to get frothy. Add in 1 Tablespoon of Cream Of Tarter, and continue whipping. Add one 2lb. Bag of Powder Sugar. Keep this way if you are making ginger bread houses. Use this for your "Glue". Also for making Flowers for cakes and cupcakes, this will dry Rock Hard.
For smoother frosting Pour in two Tablespoons of milk, and mix until all the lumps are gone! I added Maple flavoring, this makes the frosting taste better and adds a tea stained color.
I put this into a pastry bag, and piped an outline around the cookies to make a barrier. Let stand to harden 10 minutes. Then I added more milk to the frosting one Tblsp. at a time until thinner than spreading consistancy. I used a butter knife to spread the thinned frosting on to the cookies, making sure there wasn't too much to overflow (because I couldn't find any of my decorating supplies). I put in chocolate chips for eyes and buttons( I guess Iforgot I was making gingerbread men & thought I was making Snowmen?) This frosting levels itself out, Awesome.I let dry for 10-20 mins. and added food coloring to the frosting and with a wider tip and a pastry bag, I made a line around the neck and two off to the side. Whala. . . . .
