Ingredients

  • Royal Icing Mix OR
  • 8 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 4 Tablespoons meringue powder
  • 1 Tablespoon gum arabic
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
  • 2/3 cup water

Instructions

Royal Icing is available in mix form (just add water), or you can follow the directions here to make your own royal icing. When working with royal icing, keep bowls, beaters, bags, tips, etc... grease-free. Grease will break down royal icing.
Royal Icing Mix Instructions:
In small mixing bowl, combine water, meringue powder, and cream of tarter; beat until stiff peaks form. In separate bowl, combine powdered sugar and gum arabic; mix thoroughly, then add to meringue. Beat on low, then medium speed until stiff peaks form. Royal Icing needs to be whipped a long time; whip until fluffy and will hold shape when piped. Keep covered with a damp towel. Store in airtight, clean, greaseless container and rewhip when ready to use.
