Ingredients
1 pound confectioners' sugar
3 large egg whites or 5 tablespoons meringue powder mixed with 1/2 cup water
Paste or gel food coloring
Preparation
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine confectioners’ sugar and egg whites. Mix on medium-high speed until combined and thickened, about 8 minutes. If decorating with more than one color, divide icing into batches. Using the end of a toothpick, add food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
