5.0 out of 5 stars Helps acheive a smooth finish to butter cream icing December 2, 2010

By Nathan L. Stevens

I regularly use this in my butter cream icing, and it helps the icing set-up so it's not sticky. If you accidentally bump into your decorated cake, the damage is less noticeable if the icing was made with meringue powder, and many times can be repaired with a tooth pick. Because it takes the stickiness out of the icing, you can achieve a nice smooth top and sides with ease. Before adding the decorative elements, give the plain iced cake a while to dry then you can place a piece of waxed paper under your hand and slide it over the cake to smooth out the icing. Works well on the sides of the cake, too. It gives you a very professional look, removing the lines from the spatula, and I always receive praise on how smooth my icing is. The price on Amazon is also quite a bit lower than my local craft store.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way too sweet - not a good substitute for plain egg whites January 12, 2013

By PAS80013

Printed on the can it says "Can be used as an egg white substitute in baking", so I purchased a can so I wouldn't be left with unused yolks. However, this product contains more than just dried egg whites, and it changed the flavor of my recipes. I also used it to create a batch of meringue cookies, and they were too sweet to eat. I ended up throwing them out. Here is the ingredient list from the can (in this order): Corn starch, egg whites, sugar, gum arabic, calcium sulfate, citric acid, cream of tartar, artificial flavors, silicon dioxide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Keeps well and makes preparing royal icing a breeze October 17, 2009

By Chicago Book Addict TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

This is a great product. I've found that it keeps pretty well under normal conditions, which is nice since I don't bake as often as I would like. It makes preparing classic royal icing a breeze and has a nice neutral flavor.
