How do I make powdered sugar
Hi Alata, powdered sugar is icing sugar. It is sugar that is refined down to a powder. You usually get it at the supermarket.
I made blue berry flavoured ones. I made a tray using blue food colouring and a tray without. They taste so good. Thanks
Can I make cinnamon flavour and how much do I use?
Hi Valentina, You would have to do this to taste as Cinnamon can be pretty potent as a smell and a flavour, which some people love and others don’t. Maybe start with a quarter of a teaspoon and then see how they turn out.
How long do I bake it in a gas oven and at what temperature?
Hi Valentina, Aim for the same temperature and time as a normal oven.
Please, could you bake a Hogwarts-landscape? That would be sooo awesome!
Thank you!
Hi Ann! How many days can I keep them in airtight container? (maximum)
Thank you! I love your videos!
Hi Ann, they will usually keep for a couple of weeks or longer.
Hello! I was planning to make these for a bake sale, but I saw “caster sugar”. Would I be able to substitute it with powdered sugar instead?
Hi Rica, Caster sugar or superfine sugar is the best to use. You could try it with powdered sugar but the result may not be as effective.
the normal sugar
I tried thus and it turned out amazing.
I love ur all ur videos so much
Thanks hamada.
Can you make a monster high cake please
Hey Ann readen I wanted to say please can you make me a Gient teenage mutant ninja turtles cake and a Gient Jive Barr
Thanks for the ideas Qmia!
What could we use instead of icing or powdered sugar??? plz i REALLY want to try this recipe
What is the difference between icing sugar and caster sugar? Why need to use both?plz can u say?
How would you make vanilla flavored meringues
Hi Karla, you would replace the fruit juice with a small amount of vanilla extract.
Hi Karla, Just use a little bit of vanilla paste or a sml amount of essence instead of the reduced juice.
I’ve tried to make them and there really good
Hey Ann! I was wondering how these would hold up to being in direct contact with buttercream? I thought about using them as cupcake decorations, but I fear that the moist buttercream would cause them to become chewy/lose their crunch! Any advice?
Hi Kristi, You are right, moisture will impact meringues. If you pop them on just before serving it will minimize the impact.
Hello Ann. I am subscribed to you channel and i think you a a genius when it comes to baking! I was just wondering… can you make one of these batches and split it into four and add the flavors in like that instead of making four batches which is a bit time consuming but you obviously have to put less of the juice in I would really appreciate it if you could help. Thank you!
Well Huda, you could but they do get eaten so quickly I would suggest making enough meringue mixture to make the 4 batches and flavouring each one as you wish. Otherwise it is a lot of effort for a very small quantity.
Hi, do I NEED to use gel food colouring or can I use liquid food colouring. Thanks!! Keep up the great work!!!! 😉
Hi Jacqui, Gel colours will give stronger colour and are more stable in the mix. You can use liquid colours, but only use small amounts.
Do I need to make 2 whites recipe for each flavour or divide one recipe in four plz explain
Hi Farah, The recipe will make one quantity of mix of one flavour.
Hi can i make lemon flouvor
Hi Maria, Yes you can. Use the lime recipe as your example and replace the lime juice with lemon juice.
Hi Ann do I add cream of tar tar?
Hi Jana, There is no need to with this recipe.
