Equipment

  • 1 icing bag
  • 1 #2 icing tip round tip

Ingredients

  • 3 - 5 oz warm water
  • 2½ tbsp meringue powder
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Using your mixer bowl add warm water and meringue together.
  • Whisk by hand until frothy.
  • Place the mixing bowl on the mixer. Now add the powdered sugar all at once.
  • Attach the paddle to the mixer and mix the icing on the lowest speed for 10 minutes.
  • You are looking for a slightly runny frosting. If it is too thick, add small amounts of water to get the right consistency. Make sure to do the 10 - second icing test.
  • Place icing in bowls and add desired colors.
  • Cover extra icing with plastic wrap. I place the plastic straight onto the icing preventing air from drying it out.
