Because I wanted them to be a little more decorated, I had to find a good icing for piping. I had never piped icing before so I looked up a few recipes online and kind of made up my own. I wanted an icing with some flavor in it, but I couldn't find any that used meringue powder, which is what I had. So I used this base recipe and replaced some of the water with some vanilla extract.
3 Tbsp meringue powder
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
6 Tbsp water (replace some with vanilla, lemon, or other extract for flavoring)
- Beat all ingredients together on low for 7-10 minutes or until low peaks form.
- Keep frosting covered with a wet towel as it dries out very quickly!
The pink frosting is the poured frosting and the grey is the royal. I piped the edge grey, poured the pink in, and then did the decorating after the top of the pink had set up a little bit.
If you can't tell, they're booty shorts and bras :)
