It was worth it for improved taste, but since I never got as far as piping designs it was a lot of work for little reward. I baked a smaller skull version that didn’t get shipped, I served those to neighbors on Halloween, which was my normal powdered sugar, water, and almond extract. These below took all of 10 mins start to finish as I just dipped to ice them, so no clean edges like the piped and flood. Her version did finally made Royal icing taste good, so I will be trying it again as some point. When the arthritis in my hands isn’t flaring.
and I too did’t think one pound would be enough. I did dip into the second bag to tweak the icing to 8 seconds. If I were to make all the colors and pipe designs on the cookies I think I’d need more than the 2 bags I bought. It was expensive: $6.49 ea, for a 24 oz bag. It had tapioca starch vs corn, but it also clumps so sifting I consider to be a must.
