Obviously, you can't make beauties like these with buttercream...or at least nothing that would keep from smushing. My question is whether royal icing sacrifices taste and texture for beauty? If I were to bite into one, would it crack and be crunchy?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348730740415819673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197184171948734456.post-86779435642263808242013-01-29T22:23:17.990-06:002013-01-29T22:23:17.990-06:00Becky, I don't see why not! :) Your icing wi...Becky, I don't see why not! :) Your icing will probably take on a lemon flavor of course but there is nothing that I know of that would make me think this shouldn't work just fine :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066414154953881516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197184171948734456.post-14459085443764257782013-01-29T20:51:43.196-06:002013-01-29T20:51:43.196-06:00I'm a little late coming to the party, but I h...I'm a little late coming to the party, but I have started adding the lemon juice right into the spray bottle instead of water.

I just have to say Thank You to Ali for all the inspiration she gives and all the countless hours she spends helping us and sharing her talents.<br /><br />Seems to me it's well above and beyond what you normally can hope for anyone to share and we should all be grateful and respectful of her dedication. I understand the written word sometimes isn't interpreted as we intend but as a newbie sucking up info like a funnel cloud... I am one happy baker to have found people like Ali and others who post their secrets.<br />Oh and... anything worth sayin... is worth signing.<br /><br />Just saying...... ;o)beach peachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197184171948734456.post-3408022250554621682012-02-19T11:39:57.823-06:002012-02-19T11:39:57.823-06:00Anonymous, I am sorry you feel this way.

The only reason I have not posted the recipe yet, is because it accompanies a video tutorial that I have not finished editing. I have not fear of any "thunder" being stolen. I just wanted to make sure I presented the recipe in the best possible fashion for my readers.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066414154953881516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197184171948734456.post-75673984126944182782012-02-19T10:07:14.019-06:002012-02-19T10:07:14.019-06:00I don't understand what the secret is or why y...I don't understand what the secret is or why you would "hold out" on us. If I wanted Antonio's, I would google it. I wanted to know what you used, even though you don't have to tell us, you have built a "career" on this website of advising us on what to do. Come on, spill! We aren't going into business or trying to take your thunder. We just want to learn! Isn't that what your blog is all about?
