Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form, approximately 7-10 minutes. The icing should be smooth and glossy.
For a thinner consistency, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. If the icing is too thin, add more sifted confectioners' sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
Store the royal icing in an airtight container at room temperature. To prevent a crust from forming, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the icing.
Gel food coloring is recommended for coloring royal icing as liquid food coloring can alter the consistency.
