Royal Icing

Directions

1. 1
   Sift the confectioner's sugar into a bowl and add the meringue powder. Add half of the water, combine, and then add the remaining amount of water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. The icing should not be runny.
2. 2
   Beat on high speed for about 10 minutes, or until the frosting forms stiff, glossy peaks.
3. 3
   Dye and cover immediately to prevent from drying out.
