the way of making Royal Icing

it is important that Be prepared for a sticky mess if your bag leaks, or if you get this on your hands.
Here’s a recipe for that glue-like icing that is used to hold pieces of gingerbread houses together. It can also be used to hold any kind of food craft together, like an edible faerie house. It will dry rock-hard and provide a very good adhesion between the porous cookie surfaces.
Sift the sugar into a bowl. You “can” skip this step, but you risk getting lumpy icing if you do.Separate your egg whites into a bowl.Add the egg white(s) and stir until your desired consistency is reached. The consistency of peanut butter works well for gingerbread houses and similar edible construction projects.
Place the icing in an icing tube for easiest application. You can use two zip lock freezer bags if you have no icing tube handy. Simply put the icing in a bag, seal it, then place the bag inside the second freezer bag, and seal it as well. Snip the corner(s) to allow the icing to ooze out, and treat it as if it were an icing tube.
Remove any extra drips or bits while the icing is still pliable, as it is very difficult to remove once it has dried and hardened.
