DIRECTIONS:
1. Sift powdered sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer.
2. Add meringue powder and mix together slowly.
3. Add almond extract and water.
4. Whisk on high for about 5-6 min, adding water as necessary.
5. Icing should be stiff, but smooth enough to flow through a piping bag/decorating tip (it’s hard to describe).
