1. Smooth & Shiny Royal Icing

A touch of glycerine in royal icing adds shine and prevents your icing setting hard and dry. This makes it far easier to apply to cakes, and guarantees a nice smooth cut when slicing. Add 1 tsp of glycerine for every 500g of icing sugar for a softer set and 2 tsp per 500g for a nice glossy finish.

2. Creamy Buttercream

Glycerine can help buttercream from drying out and forming a crust and will help keep your buttercream silky smooth. Not only does it help keep your buttercream silky smooth, it also helps when decorating, allowing you to take your time with sprinkles or attaching decorations to your buttercream creations.Add 1-2 tsp of glycerine 500g of buttercream.
