  1. Add meringue powder, water, corn syrup, and almond extract to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or large mixing bowl. Mix on low speed or whisk to combine.
  2. Add in powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until the powdered sugar is absorbed and the icing is smooth.
  3. Turn the mixer to medium-high speed and mix for about 5 minutes until the icing becomes thick.
  4. Change the consistency of the icing by adding small amounts of water to small batches of the recipe. You can also add gel food coloring to color the icing at this point.
