Icing Consistencies for Cookie Decorating | Hand-iced Biscuits

We’re Biscuiteers, the original hand-iced biscuit company. We ice over three million biscuits each year, and today we’re showing you some tips and tricks to help you become a biscuit icing expert.

In this icing tutorial, we will be showing you the different types of icing we use at the Ministry of Biscuits. We work with two different types of royal icing consistency, including flood icing and line icing, and we will explain the roles they play in icing cookies.

Line icing is the first type of icing consistency we use, and is the perfect icing consistency for writing on cookies, as well as adding outlines and icing details onto biscuits. Line icing is the perfect piping consistency for cookies, as it remains firm and keeps its shape on the biscuit.

The second icing consistency we use is flood icing. We use this icing consistency for flooding biscuits with colour – it often acts as the background colour, to which we will add details later. When using flood icing, we tend to use icing bottles, but you can also pipe flood icing onto a biscuit – it’s just a little runnier.
