Preparation

Step 1

Ensure that all your tools are very clean and grease free before starting.

Combine confectioner’s sugar, meringue powder and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer.

Slowly add water until a sticky ball has formed, and then add water by the drop until a glue-like consistency is reached.

Beat on the lowest speed for 7-10 minutes.

For thinner icing, add more water a drop at a time until desired consistency is reached.

For flavored icing, substitute 1 teaspoon of water for a clear flavored extract.
