Royal icing recipe

2.25 pounds of powdered sugar

3/4 cup room temperature water

1 teaspoon Creme Tarter 5 tbsp merengue powder

2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup corn syrup

Wipe all utensils and peels with vinegar or lemon juice to break down any remaining grease. This will prevent the merengue powder from thickening.

Pour powdered sugar into the mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir the water, tarter cream and merengue powder until frothy.

Pour into the mixing bowl and mix on low until everything is well mixed.

Add corn syrup.

Spin on medium speed and mix for 5-8 minutes until thick.

The icing stays on the counter for 1-4 days, 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator and 1-3 months in the freezer.
