Reply to "What's Your Favorite Meringue Powder and Why?"

Dehydrated egg whites are just egg whites that are dried out. Meringue powder also contains sugar and various stabilizing gums, so it's sweeter and perhaps somewhat more stable when mixed into icing form. But for all intents and purposes with cookie decorating, they respond pretty similarly however. It's the albumen (protein) in the dehydrated egg whites which causes royal icing to set as fast as it does (compared to glaze or confectioners' icing).
