Instructions

Before diving into mixing, gather all your equipment. You will need a mixing bowl, electric mixer, sifter, and piping bags.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the sifted powdered sugar and egg whites. Using your electric mixer, start mixing on low speed to avoid sugar clouds. Gradually increase to medium speed, mixing until combined.

Once the sugar and eggs are combined, add water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Continue mixing until the icing reaches a glossy, stiff peak consistency.

Pipe a small swirl on a plate. If it holds its shape without collapsing, it’s ready!

Divide the icing into bowls and add gel food coloring to achieve your desired shades.

Use immediately for decorating or store under a damp paper towel and tight plastic wrap.
