Is there a softer royal icing recipe out there? Maybe it’s my error, but my icing is really hard. Does over mixing it make it harder? Could the amount of meringue powder be reduced to help soften it up? I use a Tablespoon of corn syrup in my recipe, can I add more to help with the issue? It also seems that sometimes it turns out harder than other times even though it’s the same recipe. Help!
