Yes Gail - I have piped snowflakes.  Just remember they say that there are no 2 snowflakes that are ever the same, so let your imagination run wild.  They just have the basic form of always having 6 'spokes'.  Just google images of snowflakes and you will overwhelmed with ideas.  To pipe them, I just put dots in edible ink on parchment paper for where the end of the spokes would come, so I got my dimensions and proportions right (and the symmetry).  Then piped freehand.  Let them dry for ages or they will break on you (several of mine did anyway).  Or you can be brave and pipe straight on to your cake.  Here's a few that I put on last years Christmas cake - the really good ones broke lol!

Thank you Gail. Maybe I must try your recipe. Yaawn! I jyst finished some foliage and berries. Goodnes it is time consuming to make a spray of berries or leaves. I'm off to bed now. It is 23 h 29 and I have to get up at 05 h 00 tomorrow. We have a (what we call "Boeremark"} every Saturday, it is like a fresh farm products market, and the veggies is unbelievably fresh! But early bird catches the worm.

I found this but have never tried so don't know if it makes a difference. -- fresh egg whites (not meringue powder or powdered egg whites) and hand-stir the icing.  Using a mixer makes it easier, certainly, and makes a fluffier royal icing.  But that fluff is air which means less strength and more brittleness.  A hand-stirred, fresh-egg white royal icing is stronger than cement.
