. Royal Icing 2
This recipe, which uses pasteurized egg whites, is the one I use most often now. I find that buying egg whites is convenient, prevents wasting yolks, solves many food-safety issues and it tastes much better than a royal icing made with meringue powder. The lemon juice in this recipe does not add a strong lemon flavor, but it does mitigate the sweetness of the confectioners' sugar.

Tried this recipe because I do not like the taste of most royal icing recipes. This tasted so much better and easy to work with.

I have never had this but it seems like a hoot to make and I think that it would be scrumptious
