Is there any way to make ROYAL ICING Vegetarian?

Question

Is there any other icing that can be piped and hardens once it dries up?

Answer 1

no it isnt, one needs the egg whites to make the consistancy and stiff enough. sorry, this time being a total vegan isn't easy.

Answer 2

You can buy meriange powder which is essentially powdered egg white, but there is a protein powder at health food stores made from a plant matter, I have heard that mimics the egg white and makes it vegan, but if your vegetarian and consume some eggs, the meriange powder is best and safest, plus it is easier to work with than powdered sugar and raw egg whites, the cosistancy is much easier to control.

I am a former chef and had a friend who owned a cake decorating store and taught the "Wilton" method of cake decorating & design, she always used meriange powder for her royal icing work, with the protein powder a bit of added cornstarch can be used to thicken the icing, and paste colour work best as they do not weaken the icing with liquid.
