Meringue powder, available in most shops that carry cake decorating
supplies, is mostly a combination of powdered egg white and cornstarch.
It's very stable and works well in both royal and buttercream icings.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon meringue powder
- 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Beat all ingredients together, using 1 1/2 tablespoons water, on high
- speed for about 5 minutes (10 minutes if using a hand-held mixer), or
- until icing is thick and glossy and stands in peaks. If icing is too
- thick, add water, a teaspoon at a time.
- Use immediately, or cover tightly and hold for up to 2 days. Royal
- icing will become spongy as it stands; rebeat briefly before using.
