Fresh Lemon Royal Icing Step

Instructions:

  1. Make sure all your tools are grease free!
  2. I wipe my tools with a piece of paper towel and vinegar. Wipe dry with a clean towel.
  3. Sift the powdered sugar if needed, if powdered sugar has big chunks make sure you sift it, otherwise I don’t sift.
  4. Whisk meringue powder with fresh lemon juice and warm water, until slightly foamy, add cream of tartar,  whisk well and then add all the powdered sugar at once. Using your stand mixer, on the lowest setting, using paddle attachment, mix for about 3-4 minutes, add  vanilla extract, continue mixing for another 5 minutes. Scrape the bowl once and beat again.
  5. When icing is done it should be stiff. Try not to overmix.

Notes

For non lemon icing, use the same measurements, instead of lemon juice use water.
