Perfect Royal Icing

Ingredients:

- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of meringue powder

- 3 tablespoons of warm (not hot) water

- 1/2 tablespoon of light corn syrup

- 2 cups of confectioners sugar

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or almond extract)

    In a medium sized bowl, combine the meringue powder and water. Beat the mixture until it becomes frothy, about a minute. Add in the confectioners sugar, corn syrup, and extract. Beat on a medium-high speed, until mixture becomes light and fluffy. It will be at a thick consistency stage. A little bit of water will go a long way, but you can add water to make it thinner if you's like.
