Preparation
Step 1
Royal: Mix the meringue powder into the powdered sugar until thoroughly incorporated. At the lowest setting on your mixer, using the paddle attachment, add in the combined water & flavorings. Depending on your preference you can increase the vanilla to 2 teaspoons or add in an additional teaspoon of another flavor such as Almond extract. Once the ingredients are full combined, turn the mixer to medium, whipping the icing just until it becomes fluffy and holds a firm peak. Move the royal icing into another bowl and cover the top with a slightly damp kitchen towel. No need to clean the bowl.
Step 2
Sweet glaze: Add all ingredients to the bowl in the order listed so that the powdered sugar is on the bottom of the bowl. As with the royal, depending on your preference you can increase the vanilla to 2 teaspoons or add in additional teaspoon of another flavor such as Almond extract.
Step 3
Sweet Hope: Add the royal icing back into the mixing bowl containing the glaze. Whip at low speed for 30 seconds. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl. Whip at low speed for another 30-60 seconds or until you can see that the two icings have become one beautiful bowl of thick fluffy magic.
Step 4
Can be stored in air tight plastic containers and placed in the freezer for months. Remove and let thaw in fridge 48 hours.
