Professional Decorators' Icing
"I needed an icing to use to make my daughters castle cake. While in Farmer Jack, the woman at the register ahead of me talked about how she decorates cakes. So I took that as my opportunity to ask her what recipe she uses for icing and this is what she gave me. I got lots of raving reviews. This hardens up like the cakes in meijer, etc.... and it's not too sweet."

I use this recipes all the time. Like the other reivewer, I also took a Wilton class and used the exact recipe! It worked great and tastes also tastes very good!(By the way, meringue powder can be found in the Wilton isle at Michaels -
This is wonderful, it is a little different from the normal decorator's icing that I make but well worth trying. -
I just finished taking 3 levels of Wilton Cake Decorating classes and this is the exact recipe that we use. I agree that it is a good recipe and not too sweet! However, it should be remembered that different techniques use different consistencies of icing. Check out the Wilton site for more info.
