ROYAL Icing

4 c. powdered sugar
2 T. meringue powder
6 T. water

Mix all ingredients on low speed for 7-10 minutes or until the icing loses its shine.  Add more water by the teaspoon if it appears too stiff. At this stage you want to be able to pipe it easily.  I added vanilla but I think Almond flavoring would be great also.
