Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
1/3 cup water, plus more if needed
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon meringue powder
Gel-paste food coloring in Black (for gray icing), Ivory mixed with Egg Yellow (for gold icing), and Red Red

Steps:

  • Beat sugar, water, and meringue powder with a mixer on low speed until smooth, about 7 minutes. Icing should be the consistency of glue. (If icing is too thick, mix in a little more water. If icing is too thin, add more sugar.)
  • Beat in food coloring, 1 drop at a time, until desired color is achieved. If making more than 1 color, divide icing and work in batches.
