  • Happiest Thanksgiving from our family to yours ❤️ we have so much to be grateful for, and I hope these blessings are never lost on me! I hope your day is so sweet ❤️
  • I finally made an icing instructional video! 🥳

No, this is not a textbook royal icing and wasn’t created to be. If you need an icing that will dry as hard as a rock, keep looking! 

BUT - if you’re look for a delicious icing to frost cookies with the kids, that will dry to a nice crust for storing then THIS IS IT!

When I say I’ve made gallonssssss of this icing I am not exaggerating.

No gatekeeping here! The only reason is has taken me this long to share is because I’ve truly never measured it all out before 🤭🫣 you might be surprised at how simple this is to make!

Blog post with written instructions to come- for now be sure to SAVE this video for the upcoming holidays! 

Comment “almond” and I’ll send you the link to my favorite Lorann almond emulsion- or for my Facebook friends I’ll link it in the comments 

Enjoy!
