Help. I'm in the middle of trying to rough ice my Christmas Cake!
For many years I've used Delia's recipe for Royal Icing but found over the last few years I've had problems with getting it into stiff peaks - our family like hard icing. Today seems worse than ever. What am I doing wrong and more importantly what can I do to get it right (or near enough to enable stiff peaks)?

Hello,
It sound like your icing needs to be thicker.
Sift in a tablespoon more icing sugar and stir well. Test it in the bowl so make sure it will form a peak that holds. If it doesen't, sift in some more icing sugar, stir and test again until it does.

It's still in the bowl. I've already added more icing sugar but perhaps not enough so I'll add more for another try. Thanks
