Ingredients - 2 tablespoons Meringue Powder
- 1/4 cup Cold Water
- 3 1/2-4 cups Confectioners Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Light Corn Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Shortening
- 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Fruit Extract of Your Choice, (optional)
- Food Coloring
Directions - In a standing mixer fitted with the whip, or with an electric hand mixer, beat together the meringue powder and water until stiff peaks form.
- Blend in 3 cups of the confectioner's sugar.
- Mix in the corn syrup, shortening, and vanilla extract. Add more confectioner's sugar, 1/2 to 1 cup more, to desired consistency.
- Divide the icing into bowls for the number of colors you are making.
- Add a dash of fruit extract(s) to each bowl of icing if you'd like to add flavoring.
- Tint each bowl of icing with the food coloring.
- Fill the decorating bags and close tightly with rubber bands. Snip the tips of the decorating bags.
- Cut strips of freezer paper size 2-inches by 8 1/2-inches. Place a strip over the template.
- Use the blue painter's tape to secure the strip. Pipe dots of icing on the strip of paper, using the template as a guide. (Alternatively, hold the strip over the template and trace the dots with a food writer. Then pipe on the dots.)
- When finished, transfer the strip to a baking tray, using the blue tape to hold the paper onto the tray.
- Let the icing dry overnight before handling and packaging.
