I made this today, i had a can of meringue powder to use up, and all the recipes i could find were for royal icing. i'm glad i found this one! it is so fluffy and yummy! not at all llike greasy,gritty or super sweet buttercreams. it was easy to make too! i'm so happy that i found this!

This is a great recipe, but it is a meringue in my opinion and not an icing. It was really fluffy and the Wilton Meringue Powder is a great find, but I'd consider this a topping rather than an icing.
