Ingredients:

Ingredients
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons meringue powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Food coloring (optional)

Meringue powder can be found in most baking supply stores or online. It's a mixture of dried egg whites, sugar, and other ingredients and is commonly used in royal icing recipes.

Instructions:

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, meringue powder, cream of tartar, and salt until fully combined.
  2. Add the water and vanilla extract (if using) to the bowl and mix on low speed until the ingredients are combined.
  3. Increase the speed to high and mix for 5-7 minutes, until the icing forms stiff peaks. If the icing is too thick, add a little more water until you reach the desired consistency.
  4. If you want to color the icing, separate it into smaller bowls and add food coloring until you get the desired shade.
  5. Use the icing immediately or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

This recipe makes about 3 cups of icing, which is enough to cover about 24 cupcakes or a 9-inch cake.

Tips:

Tips
  • Make sure all of your utensils and mixing bowl are completely clean and free of grease or oil. Any residue can prevent the icing from forming stiff peaks.
  • If you're using a stand mixer, start on low speed and gradually increase it to high. This will prevent the dry ingredients from flying out of the bowl.
  • Don't overmix the icing, or it will become too stiff and difficult to work with.
  • If you want a thinner consistency for flooding cookies, add a little more water until the icing reaches the desired consistency.
