Hey, man. Been there. Try sifting your powdered sugar before mixing, and use a stand mixer for a smooth consistency. Also, add a bit of water slowly to avoid lumpiness.

To get that smooth royal icing, try sifting your powdered sugar to remove lumps and adjust the consistency with a bit of water or lemon juice until it flows like silk!

The trick I can share is to strain the icing. It may sound weird for some but straining the icing ensures a perfectly smooth finish. I use a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or undissolved sugar particles.
