Stiff Consistency
2/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons of water, divided
1/4 cup of Meringue Powder
12 cups of sifted confectioners’ sugar (about 3 lbs.),
divided
1 1/4 cups of solid vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons of light corn syrup
3/4 teaspoon of salt
3/4 teaspoon of No-Color Almond Extract
3/4 teaspoon of Clear Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon of No-Color Butter Flavor
In a large bowl, combine 2/3 cup water and meringue powder; whip with electric
mixer at high speed until peaks form. Add 4 cups of sugar, one cup at a time, beating
at low speed after each addition.

Add remaining 8 cups of sugar and 3 tablespoons water, shortening and corn syrup in
3 additions, blending well after each.

Add salt and flavorings; beat at low speed until smooth. Keep bowl covered with a
damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when
not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks.
Rewhip before using. Makes about 7 cups.

For Thin (spreading) Consistency
Add up to 4 more tablespoons each water and corn syrup.
For a really white Cake!
