If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.

This keeps well and is useful for quick decorating jobs as beating again is unnecessary. To use for inscriptions, thin slightly with a few drops of water, milk, or coffee.
