Eating Crackle Icing

Hi Heidi,

At the moment, I only have used this technique just for looks...To be honest, I think they are not the best option for enjoy eating them (royal icing tastes much better, of course!)

What do you think about trying some non oil-based food flavouring in order to improve the taste?

Great question. Anxious to hear what others have to say about it.

I worried about the same.     My daughter had some kind of alergy only after she ate cookies decorated like that.  But not me.  I  am new and I have not practice so much this but I am looking for something without using so many paints. 

You can generate that effect easily with a crackle template and an airbrush. http://www.amazon.com/Prima-Ma...rds=Crackle+template

Just today I see that Montreal Confections did a YouTube video on this using an egg wash with white color before baking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na7383DyzwI

a mi tambien se me hace bonito el efecto de craquelado, pero no me gustó su sabor, creo que para comer no me gusta... no le aporta sabor.. y es desagradable comer almidon de maiz crudo.. y en el otro caso que aplican vodka con pintura en polvo creo que  seria demasiada ingesta de polvo.....así que mejor me abstengo, ya que solo hago galletas con fines comestibles... saludos.

I used a bit of vodka ,which had vanilla beans soaking in it ,with some super white powder color -lightly painted this mixture over the unbaked cookie and the results were not only gorgeous but tasty.
