Ann Clark Black Royal Icing Mix 4.3-oz. Pouch Makes 2 Cups Black Cookie Icing

Love, love, love this brand of royal icing. Tastes great, easy to use. I’ve bought the powder and premixed both, extremely pleased with both types. This is my go to icing for sugar cookies.

wow I really this this Royal Icing. So pretty and easy to work with, it does take time to dry, red color is what I used it is nice. I used some sugar free sprinkles'; My Family likes sugar free everything in my Baking is sugar free less calories and just as good. .I give this a 5-star rating. Gave me plenty of time to work with it, no drying effect. My Red Birds cookies!

We just used this to decorate Halloween cookies. ma, is this black BLACK!. We didn't notice much flavor from the cookies as many times the black dye is noticeable, not this one. We mixed up a smaller batch and put the rest in a sealed bottle, hoping to preserve it. The mixture was then out into piping bags and was easy to use this to decorate our cookies. The icing came out easily and glazed over fairly quickly. For 2 cups that this can make I think the price is high as you still to buy the sugar to mix it with. I will say this stuff worked great.

I thought this was the dry mix and it turned out to be just liquid dye that you add to powder sugar. The green was not the color listed and you have to have powdered sugar on hand and you can’t really save the mix once open. I only needed a small amount and now I had to waste ingredients. Overpriced for what it is.

This product is so convenient for rich colors or to use in a pinch. I followed the directions and ended up with so much royal icing. I did add some clear vanilla to give it a little more of a taste. I piped white overtop, not fully dry yet, but haven’t seen any color bleed yet. Overall, very happy with this product.

Really dark red - unless you divide it and lighten it.

Love that all I had to do was add powdered sugar and milk. I could never have achieved this color in mixing, I tried! Super easy and fast! Will buy more colors

When I ordered this product, the ingredients weren't listed on the website. That's usually a bad sign, I know, but I was hoping that in this case I'd be wrong. My family tries hard to stay away from FD&C artificial colors in foods because of the strong links to behavioral problems in small children. Still, the visual appeal of food is just as important as the flavor, so I understand why so many companies choose to use FD&C colors to get their products to look like what they want. I intentionally do not use artificial colors when I bake. Ever. Under any circumstances. Spirulina, chlorella, beet powder, turmeric and black cocoa powder and cacao give us all the colors that we want. Black cocoa powder, a highly alkalized cocoa powder, is the best alternative I've found for artificial black food coloring, and it works really well.Ann Clark doesn't know about black cocoa powder though, and has loaded this royal icing up with five different artificial colors. This icing contains more artificial colors than cream of tartar, vanillin (synthetic? IDK, it's not specified), salt, potassium sorbate or sodium benzoate. The only things that beat them out are the aquafaba and the corn syrup.To make it, you are to add 1lb of powdered sugar in your mixer. Simple.I appreciate the convenience of this product in making it easier to make royal icing, but it's really not saving me so much time that it's worth the artifice (crack open the chickpeas, strain the aquafaba, mix the cream of tartar in, add the sugar, add the black cocoa powder... like three more minutes of my time?) I also love love love that it's vegan and allergy friendly, with absolutely no allergens. But I even want my sweets to be (mostly) clean, and this isn't how to do it. Not a fan.
