I loved Kim Joy on Great British Baking Show, so I knew I had to make this! Very simple royal icing recipe, however the proportions are perfect for a nice pipeable consistency. I added a little more egg white to make it good for flooding. A good staple formula, next time I will flavor my icing with almond or lemon extract.
