Royal Icing

Ingredients for Royal Icing for Frosting:

• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 T meringue powder
  
• 6 T water

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients on low speed for 7-10 minutes or until the icing loses its shine.
   
2. Add more water by the teaspoon if it appears too stiff. (At this stage you want to be able to pipe it easily.)
3. If you want to add color divide the icing into your containers based on how much you will need of each one.
   
4. Proceed to color the icing and then cover each container with a damp paper towel. (It is key when working with royal icing not to allow it to dry out.)
