So just to clarify 2 tsp meringue powder and 2 tablespoons of water for each egg white? So if we need to whip 3 egg whites with sugar to stiff peaks we would use 6 tsp meringue powder and 6 tablespoons of water and whip that with sugar?
Hi... Im beginner and i want to know if we can use meringue powder to a whipping cream for cake frosting or for decorating. Hoping for some help. Thank you
At the end you said to use items that are grease free...how can it be used in buttercream icing...do you beat the meringue powder and sugar first before adding the butter?
When I make the meringue cookies icing and leave it till next day it always separates. I can see the darker color on the bottom of the decorating bag. Is that normal.
Hi Tina, we haven't tested this out, unfortunately. Our fondant recipes use confectioners' sugar You can see some of our recipes here: wilton.com/rolled-fondant/wlrecip-212/ and wilton.com/rolled-fondant/wlrecip-212/
Meringue Powder is freshest if used within 24 months. There is a stamped manufacture date code on the product that is five digits (if longer you only need the first five) - for example 24114, the first two numbers are the year the item was made (2024) and the last three are the Julian date (114th day of the year - April 24).

I make Russian cookie bars (Mazurka) that call for meringue on the top before baking. When I use fresh eggs, the meringue cracks when cut. I wonder if Meringue Powder mixture would also crack. Thank you!
Hi Margaret! Some cracking when cutting into a meringue topping is typically normal! We aren't familiar with that type of cookie so we're not sure what the difference may be, but Meringue Powder would be a great alternative!
You need to put experation date on your containers my merenge powder has no exoeration date as my piping gel no date how do you know when to dispose of it
I don't know what I did wrong. I made Meringue Buttercream according to video, put some in the freezer for later and some in the fridge, I took out the batch from what was in the fridge to see how it pipes and it liquified in the bottom of the bowl, I tried to make it come together but the more I mixed the softer it got with still liquid in the bottom of the bowl. Where did I go wrong?
Royal Icing can separate when placed in the fridge, it would just typically need to be re-mixed! If you find it is too soft, you can add a little bit more powdered sugar!
Hi Hagir, it depends on what project you'll be making. There are variety of recipes listed above that could be helpful. Our Royal Icing page is a good place to start: bit.ly/2FBpYFe
We're sorry to hear that! Please reach out to customerservice_crm@wilton.com and provide the stamped-on lot code from your Meringue Powder and we'll be happy to look into this!
