Create your own gel icing at home with this simple and quick recipe. Perfect for decorating cakes, cookies, and more.
Combine the cold water and cornstarch in a microwave-safe bowl, whisking until smooth.
Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved for a lump-free mixture.
Add the corn syrup and vanilla extract to the bowl, stirring until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until it boils and becomes clear.
Watch closely to avoid overcooking, as this can affect the texture.
Let the mixture cool, whisking occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency.
Stirring while cooling prevents a skin from forming on the surface.
Add food coloring to achieve your desired color, then transfer the icing to a piping bag for use.
Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without altering the consistency.
