Ingredients

Instructions

  • First I mix the meringue powder and water until it's foamy.
  • Then I add the powdered sugar (be sure to start off on low or else the powder will fly up in your face)
  • Once the powdered sugar is mixed completely in I add the corn syrup.
  • Mix about 5 to 7 minutes until a high peak is seen. (Note: Make sure the peak stands straight up. If it flops over even just a bit it's still not ready.
  • Immediately cover it with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out. Make sure no air is trapped in between the plastic wrap and the icing.
  • Separate the icing into containers to add gel paste food color (if desired)
