Royal Icing: Stir together 1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tbsp (30 mL) powdered sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) warm water and 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) pasteurized dried egg whites (meringue powder). Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until spreadable. Add additional water, 1 tsp (5 mL) at a time, to get desired consistency.
