Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons meringue powder
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar (about 1 lb.)
• 6 Tablespoons warm water

Beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (7-10 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer).

**When using large countertop mixers or for stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.
