There is a reason why I call this life saving frosting. It is easy, amazing and so adaptable. It is made with meringue powder, a Wilton product. It is available at Joann's or at Sur La Table. It can be cut in half and made in a ton of favors. Add a half cup of coco powder, voila chocolate. Mint extract? Works great. Mocha. You bet. Pipe it onto cupcakes and life is good. I think it is easier to pipe than frost. Above is vanilla and chocolate.
2/3 cup water
4 Tbs meringue powder
1 2 lb bag confectioner sugar
1 1/4 room temperature butter
Flavoring....
whisk water and meringue powder on high speed until stiff peaks form
Slowly add powdered sugar, allowing to incorporate after each addition. Add the sugar on low or it will go everywhere.
Add butter and the last half of sugar. Beat if there are any lumps.
Add flavor and enjoy.
