Reply to "Bright White Royal Icing"

For me personally, the best way to achieve bright white icing is to make sure everything going into the icing is either bright white or clear. I use all clear extracts and the confectioners sugar and meringue power I use are both bright white. I will occasionally add roughly 4-5 drops of white food coloring or even a drop or two of blue coloring if I am matching it with other colors that have a slight blue hue. This would be for a batch size calling for 2 lbs of confectioners sugar.
