Recipe Note
Notes & Tips:
- For best volume, clean mixing bowl, as oil residue will prevent stiff peaks from forming in your meringue.
- Add a drop or two of water at a time to reach desired consistency. Learn more about consistencies here.
- To make colored royal icing, add one drop of Ann Clark Gel Food Coloring and mix with a rubber spatula until desired shade is reached.
