  • Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups
    Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

    • 1 pound confectioners' sugar
    • 5 tablespoons meringue powder
    • Scant 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. Beat ingredients in a mixer bowl on low speed until smooth, about 7 minutes. If icing is too thick, add more water; if too thin, beat 2 to 3 minutes more.

Cook's Note

Don't add all the water at first; test on parchment with the stencil to determine the best consistency.
