Royal Icing
60 ml egg whites
1 ml cream of tartar
1000 ml icing sugar
15 ml lemon juice
Whip on high for two minutes, until smooth. If too thick, add a touch more lemon juice.
To adjust, simply stir in a few drops more cream to thin, or another teaspoon of powdered sugar to thicken, repeating (or alternating between the two)
Dries quickly, so make in small batches or keep covered and sealed (damp paper towel or in ziplock bag)

125 ml margarine
185 ml icing sugar
1 egg yolk
