It may just be me, but I didn't like the flavor from the meringue powder at all. I used this to frost some ghost cookies for Halloween, then switched to another recipe after tasting it. I may save the rest and try it for assembling a gingerbread house. It does look fine and whips us nicely. Susan -
This worked very well for us and is easy to make too.I used this on our gingerbread houses and will be using it again next year. Thanks for the recipe. -
Very simple, and so effective. This is one of the oh so many items I used for my daughter's first birthday cake. This particular icing topped a chocolate butter cake with raspberry filling.

Update Nov 2009 - I live in Northwestern Ontario with the cold and the bugs. A baby born in each of my decade 20's 30's 40's!!! plus 2 grandsons now. I love to cook and hardly ever repeat a recipe. I never really had a fav cookbook but I now have a favorite recipe site that I am totally addicted to-RECIPEZAAR!!! I still email recipes to my own kids. My pet peeve is those folks who turn their noses up at a dish even before they try it. My family have sat at the table with a pig tail or a chicken foot on their plate just becuz I found a recipe - HAHAHa - cooking should be fun and very once in a while the dogs get a treat! I also love watching decorating shows and my husband keeps promising to put wheels on the furniture to make room arrangments easier! We don't hobby farm anymore on our 8 acres and the large veg garden has been made over - half rock garden and other half with 12 new raised cedar beds because I am getting old and the knees don't work so well. It is fabulous and will post a new cover pic altho I love my Inukshuks!! I LOVE snowshoeing and am blessed to be able to walk out my back door and enjoy.
