You have reached my personal site. I have been cooking/baking professionally for over 35 years and have learned a lot along the way. Here is a composite of some of what I do and some of my past work. I am currently working as a cake artist and apply a plant-based approach to ingredients and design.
What is meringue powder? Meringue powder is a baker’s staple that is traditionally made with egg whites. Though it can be used to stabilize buttercreams, it is primarily used as an ingredient for making royal icing. Our egg free meringue powder is uniquely formulated by using freshly ground vegan meringues as its base. Just add water and confectioner’s sugar to whip up into royal icing for cookie decorating or thin to a pourable drip glaze for dipping donuts. It dries quickly without cracking and provides elasticity for easy piping
Our meringue powder is a pantry staple for anyone that enjoys decorating with clean, plant-based ingredients.
Why use meringueshop’s meringue powder?
taste. We make fresh meringues using organic raw cane sugar and then grind them to a powder. The royal icing made with our meringue powder has a true meringue flavor without the bitter, chemical aftertaste or odor common to commercially-produced meringue powders.
quality. Our meringue powder is made with organic and non-GMO ingredients that is free from chemical stabilizers, artificial ingredients and artificial flavor enhancers.
performance. Our vegan meringue powder matches the performance of egg-based meringue powders and, we believe, goes beyond them by making a royal icing that dries smoothly without being brittle.
organic. Our meringue powder is vegan! We prepare our own organic aquafaba broth (slow-simmered from organic chickpeas) as a substitute for mass-produced powdered egg whites.
About our Aquafaba
At meringueshop, we celebrate the ingredient, aquafaba. Our meringue process begins with making a fresh batch of aquafaba. We gently simmer dried organic chickpeas to produce a pure, protein-rich ‘consommé ‘ and then reduce it to just the right consistency. After straining the broth, the aquafaba is ready to whip, just like egg whites.
Where to Purchase Egg-Free Meringue Powder
You can purchase meringue powder from my bakeshop, Flourish Baking Company. Available in an 8 oz pouch. *Please note, our formula is meant for decorating and cannot be reconstituted to make meringue cookies.
