I'm looking for an icing recipe to use with a cake-decoarating kit I have. I haven't used the kit in a while and tried the recipe included with it: Royal Icing: 1 pound confectioners sugar, 3 egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, beat with a wooden spoon until stiff. Not that difficult a recipe, but for the life of me, I couldn't get the icing to stiffen (and I beat it for about an hour, added more cream of tartar, stuck it in the fridge, tried everything I could think of). Trying to decorate a cake with icing that won't stiffen is an impossible task, and I was wondering if anyone had any tried and true recipes they would recommend. Thanks!
