The bag you receive will not look like this. The CK Products company that we always bought from closed abruptly in August. In order to ensure that our customers had some Royal Icing for their sugar skulls, we bought up a commercial grade/ restaurant Royal Icing Mix. The bags look much more plain than fancy. But it's a very good quality if you are making just a few sugar skulls. I have enclosed a typed instruction sheet with the bags. Angela

Consider this if you need to decorate a few sugar skulls. It is not for making the sugar mix to make skulls. Perfect if you have a kid in a Spanish class that needs to decorate 1 or 2 of our pre-made sugar skull blanks. This bag is 1 pound of powdered sugar, pre-mixed with 1/4 c meringue powder. It yields approx 2 cups of royal icing which is enough to make 5-6 disposable icing bags of color.
This product is for convenience. You add 5 Tablespoons water slowly to the powder and blend with an electric mixer. I would make it a bit thicker with a bit less water and then add the colored paste food color. Then if it's too stiff, add a few drops of water and keep mixing.
If you are making sugar skulls in our molds with granulated sugar, or need more Royal Icing to decorate more skulls or even to assemble larger skulls, then you should not be buying Royal icing mix but buying our Meringue Powder, use your own granulated or powdered sugar, and buy our disposable icing bags, colored tin foil and paste food colors.
