Attempting Royal Icing for the First Time Ever!

I have wanted to attempt royal icing forever.  Like it's legit on my list of things to learn how to do... right up there with hand lettering... because it just seems like something I should know how to do so with a newly free weekend, I taught myself.

I don't think it's that bad! I only worked with flooding the frosting but come Christmas, I'm going to try and see if I can layer the icing levels or create better details! I'm so excited I pushed myself to do this!

Sugar Cookie recipe: here
For the icing, I used 2 egg whites, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp cream of target and some vanilla. It was a complete eyeball thing, using my stand mixer and some drops of water to get the consistency I wanted! 

It was completely trial and error so don't be afraid to try!
