RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ROYAL ICING
To make the spectacular bursts of red, white, and blue royal icing on July 4th desserts, you'll need three pastry bags-one for each color. Fit one bag with a small round tip (we used Ateco #2) and the remaining two with very small tips (such as Ateco #0).

Steps:
- Whisk water and meringue powder with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, and beat until icing holds a ribbonlike trail on the surface for 5 seconds when beater is raised. (Icing should be the consistency of glue.)
- Transfer two-thirds of the white icing to the squeeze bottle with the larger hole or to the pastry bag fitted with the larger tip.
- Divide remaining icing in half, and tint one half using red food coloring and the other half using the 2 blue food colorings until desired colors are achieved.
- Transfer red and blue icings to the remaining 2 squeeze bottles or the pastry bags fitted with the smaller tips.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat the powdered sugar, milk and egg whites with an electric mixer until thick and glossy. Add more powdered sugar if the icing seems too thin (the size of the eggs can affect consistency). Just play with it until it's right. The icing should be stiff enough to "stand still" and not run when piped.

Tips:
- To make the royal icing, start by combining egg whites, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- If the royal icing is too thick, add a little bit of water, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. If the royal icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- To color the royal icing, divide it into separate bowls and add food coloring to each bowl. Stir until the color is evenly distributed.
- When piping the royal icing onto cookies, use a variety of tips to create different designs. For example, you can use a star tip to create stars, a round tip to create dots, or a leaf tip to create leaves.
- If you are using the royal icing to decorate a cake, chill the cake before applying the icing. This will help the icing to set more quickly.
Conclusion:
Royal icing is a versatile and delicious way to decorate cookies, cakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to any color or flavor. With a little practice, you can create beautiful and impressive designs with royal icing. So, get creative and have fun!
