Froth the meringue powder

• Place the meringue powder in the mixer bowl with the lukewarm water.
• Froth until foamy and the powder is fully dissolved.
• Mist the sides of the bowl with water to incorporate everything.

Add the powdered sugar

• Add the powdered sugar straight into the bowl.
• Attach the whisk and mix until sticky and fully combined.

Add corn syrup, vanilla and white gel

• Add the light corn syrup for a softer bite and shine.
• Add the vanilla extract and the white food gel for a paper-white finish and to prevent colour bleeding.

Whip to desired stiffness

• Mix on high until the icing reaches the stiffness you need.
• Thin down with water to any consistency required for flooding or piping.
