Directions

Using a hand mixer with the beater attachments, beat together meringue powder with 1 cup water until peaks form. Add sugar and continue mixing until smooth. If mixture seems too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until desired consistency is reached. If mixture seems too thin, add confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Can someone please assure me that royal icing dries completely? I am new at this, thank you!
They sell meringue powder at Michaels and walmart in the cake section. It's madeby wilton.
I cannot get meringue powder where I live. Is there an alternative?
Meringue powder can be purchased at health food stores and crafter store's like Michael's , or any other's that sell cake decorating supplies.
Sorry, maybe it wasn't Martha's Royal Icing recipe. I found one from Foodnetwork that uses 2 Tbsp. fresh egg whites and 2 c. icing sugar. Just make sure to use precautions if using fresh egg whites (not if you're pregnant, compromised immunity, etc.) Check the recipe for instructions. Good luck.
If you can't get meringue powder, Martha also has a recipe for Royal Icing using fresh egg whites that works very well.
I want to make the frosting. Where do you buy meringue powder??
Michaels or AC Moore, any craft store should have them!
where can you find the little squeeze bottles she used for the icing? very clever idea!
This is a good icing recipe for flooding cookies. I added some vanilla and cut the recipe in half -- and I've decorated 50 cookies.
it is a .pdf file. u need Adobe Reader to open it, u can get free at www.adobe.com.
I cannot open the Santa Cookie Template. Is anyone else having this problem?
