Wilton Meringue Powder Egg White Substitute, 8 oz.

Made perfect royal icing on first try with this

My goodness - decorative icing is made so easy - can quickly mix up a few colors - easy to adjust fluidity to match the need. When I realized my supply was gone I was .... LOST!!!

I used this to stabilize an all butter (AKA American Buttercream) buttercream frosting. Doing this allows you to keep the cake @ room temperature for longer periods of time, as refrigerated buttercreams will harden & need to set out before serving, (unless the cold density when used in multiple layers doesn’t bother you). It worked perfectly! It also made it easier to decorate w/the buttercream, as it helped give it more of a shortening buttercream consistency w/out the sacrifice of taste & texture that sometimes yields. The measurement for use w/a 100% butter buttercream is 1 tblspn of this powder to every POUND of powdered sugar used in the buttercream recipe. I creamed my butter first, sifted the meringue powder w/the powdered (confectioners) sugar & added/mixed the sugar as directed for my chocolate buttercream recipe. I was able to spend about 45 minutes frosting & decorating a 3 layer cake w/out my buttercream being compromised. It made the frosting easy to spread (no cake tearing or crumbing) & the cake was able to be displayed for the entire birthday celebration w/out issue. The meringue powder is very fine, so doesn’t make a grainy texture. The vanilla flavor is light. The powder is undetectable. I will never make an American Buttercream w/out this meringue powder again. It should be extremely helpful for our very hot CA springs & summers! If you’ve been looking for an alternative to using shortening for stabilizing your buttercreams, this is it!

I am relatively new to using Meringue Powder, but have been decorating cookies using it for a few weeks. I purchased a small, 4 oz container at my local retailer and jumped right in making Royal Icing. It was so simple! The product meets my expectations.I use a lot of Royal Icing and decided to purchase a bigger container to use, not only on my cookies, but as a topping on my cupcake bathbombs.If you are looking for an excellent product, that's easy to use, this is definitely it! Since pasturized egg whites, which can be substituted for Meringue Powder, are hard to find, like it is in my area, then this is definitely the way to go!I have used a lot of Wilton products over the years and this is by far, one of my favorites. If you love decorating and are looking for the perfect Royal Icing, then I highly recommend that you purchase this. I will definitely be purchasing more.Shipping was SUPER fast & just in time to finish my Christmas goodies!*I paid full price, received no discount or incentives, for my personal use and review of this product. I rely on other reviews when buying items and I hope this review is helpful to someone else.*If you're on the fence about this product, just purchase it! You will not be disappointed!

Loved it

I got this Meringue Powder to make sugar skulls. I've never made them before, but I've read that the choice of meringue powder makes a big difference. I was running out of time, and I didn't want to spend the extra money on the specific Mexican brand that the recipes recommended, so I went with Wilton's. Long story, short: sugar skulls turned out great, although a little rough/gritty compared to ones I've seen in Mexican homes, but that is more likely from the grain of sugar used, and not the Meringue Powder. Finer sugar = better resolution from the mold and less grit. The meringue is used to hold them together in their shape, and it did that job really well! It actually took a lot more effort to break them when I tried.Wilton Meringue Powder worked so well I put a little bit in my whoopie pie filling. I like my filling light and fluffy, similar to what's used in a cream-filled doughnut or those famous cakes that supposedly will survive a nuclear apocalypse. The meringue powder made my filling very light and fluffy. It took away the straight sugar and shortening flavor that often occurs with such fillings. It also kept the shortening from separating from the sugars and breaking down quickly, as normally happens when you let the whoopie pies, etc, sit out in ambient temperatures for some time.

I used this to make royal icing! Works great, I will definitely be buying more in the future!WOW! I have never used meringue powder before! I have been a butter cream frosting girl my whole life. So I am new to this whole royal icing world. However I found a recipe online and it called for meringue powder. I wasn't sure to buy this in stores so I decided to buy it on amazon! WIN! This stuff comes in a small can, and you can make only a few batches of royal icing per can. The Meringue powder smells a little bit like marshmallows and definitely adds a sweet flavor to the icing. I thought this product was easy to use. Just make sure to follow whichever recipe you are following so you know how to use it correctly.I chose the wilton brand because I know they have been around for a while and are an established brand that I can trust. I would definitely recommend this product if you are planning on making royal icing. Meringue powder is probably easier to use and safer than using egg whites. The only down side of meringue powder is it is a little on the expensive side. One can does not last that long... Happy Baking!
