(16 oz.) confectioners’ sugar 3 Tbs. meringue powder 5- 6 Tbs. warm water 1 tsp. light corn syrup Concentrated food coloring, optional Combine confectioners’ sugar, meringue powder, water and corn syrup in large bowl. Beat at medium-low speed 5-7 minutes. Divide and tint with food coloring, if desired. Icing dries quickly, so keep it covered at all times. The amount of water you add to the icing will vary.
