Ingredients
1/4 cup royal icing mix
1 tbsp tylose powder (Or CMC)
1/4 cup warm water
Instructions
Sift the Royal Icing Mixture and Tylose together and place the mixture in an electric mixing bowl.
Boil the 1/4 cup of water and slowly stream it into the dry ingredients while mixing on low speed.
Gradually increase the speed to medium and let is beat for 7-10 minutes.
Scrap down the bowl occasionally to ensure that everything gets mixed together.
Toward the 3 minute mark to the end, add the desired liquid food coloring to the mix and let it continue to mix until the whole 10 minutes is up.
Transfer the mixture into a small bowl and cover with a lid. Save it in the refrigerator when not in use for up to 7 days.
Spread the mixture on the silicone mat and apply light pressure to fill in all the gaps of the design.
Lightly scrap the top to avoid having excess mixture.
Let the mixture dry. This can take any where from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Try to keep the lace in a dry and cool place. The more humid the air, the longer the lace will take to dry.
When the mixture is dry to the touch, it is ready to be unmolded from the silicone mat.
Gently lift the lace up and pull towards the back. When you have enough lace lifted up, then cup the lace in between the hands and continue to lift up and pull back until the lace comes off completely.
Notes
STORAGE: Store the lace by placing in between two pieces of parchment paper and laying down flat.
USING THE GEL PASTE MIXTURE: When you want to make more lace, simply take it out of the refrigeration and let it come up to room temperature before using
