    I just wouldn't risk using egg whites in a frosting recipe when there are safer alternatives like meringue powder and pasturized egg products. Why take the chance?

    I loved this recipe! While powdered sugar is usually always messy to work with -this was relatively simple and easy.I used this to ice gingerbread cookies. The texture was perfect and light and the taste was very delicate and dried and set nicely allowing plenty of time for decorating in between. I will defineately use this recipe again!

    I received this exact recipe from my daughter's grade 1 teacher for the gingerbread houses they were making in class. This icing was easy to make and spreading was a breeze. I doubled the recipe and used a 1 kg package of icing sugar and it was the perfect consistancy. I didn't use any coloring this time, but I will be making this to frost cookies in the future and I will try it with the coloring then. Thanks for this recipe!
