📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a deep bowl, add meringue powder and warm water.

Powdered sugar2 cupsVanilla extract1 tsp
4
Continue mixing until your icing becomes thick and peaks start forming. This usually takes about ⏱️ 5 minutes of mixing at high speed.Note: This icing is at the “thick consistency stage.” You can add some water to thin it out if you need your icing to be thinner. Please remember that a little water goes a LONG way. Add only 1/4 tsp water at a time and make sure to mix properly again.
Warm water (Not hot)3 tbsp
5
You can now color your icing with gel colors. If you want a pure bright white icing, then I highly recommend adding white gel food coloring.
6
Mix with a spoon until the color is fully blended into your icing.Note: The color of your icings will get deeper and better the longer they sit.
7
This icing dries very quickly, if exposed to air. Make sure you store it in a sealed container with a tight lid and cover container tightly in saran wrap.
