Decorator Frosting
Similar to royal frosting, no worry about egg whites falling. This frosting dries to a firm, yet soft consistency. It is great for decorating gingerbread cookies and small lightweight cookie houses, such as those made from graham wafers.

Tip:
Icing blends best if you use very hot tap water. If water is not hot enough, more water will be needed to reach the right consistency.
This frosting should be soft enough to go through a piping bag tip. If frosting is too stiff, add more hot water a few drops at a time, beating until desired consistency is reached. 2 1/2 tbsp warm water gives a frosting that kids can readily use in either a piping bag or spread with a knife.
