Hi all and happy advent. I'm looking for advice regarding icing my Christmas cake in the context of the egg shortage. I want to do royal icing and have read that aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) makes a good substitute for egg whites. Has any one else tried this? Does it really not taste of chickpeas? Thanks in advance and a happy Christmas to all smile

You can buy Royal icing in packets, usually next to the icing sugar on the shelves.

Available in supermarkets
Hobbycraft stock it too.
Just add water.

Not suitable for vegans, of course.
