Preparation Time: 10 min

Cooking Time: Overnight drying

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons meringue powder
  • 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 6 tablespoons water, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, cherry, or any flavored extract
  • Food coloring

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat together the meringue powder, confectioners’ sugar, water, and vanilla (or flavored extract) until the mixture holds stiff peaks and loses its sheen (about 10 minutes).
  2. Divide into separate containers, depending on how many colors you plan to use. Mix in the food coloring with a rubber spatula. Keep covered until ready to use.
  3. Prepare piping bags with small round tips. Place each color of icing into its own bag. Pipe dots onto strips of paper. Let stand for 2 minutes, then carefully set aside to dry completely. Allow the dots to dry in the open air overnight. Cut the strips into sections and serve.

Don’t forget to order Addie’s amazing cookbooks, available on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
