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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your meringue powder allergen friendly?
Yes! It is free from the eight top allergens including eggs, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, corn and soybeans. We recommend using an organic brand of confectioner’s sugar when mixing royal icing.
can you make meringue cookies from your meringue powder?
Our meringue powder is meant to be used as a decorator’s icing, ideal for cookies and glazes. It cannot be used for baked meringue cookies.
Troubleshooting - why do i need to let the meringue powder hydrate in water first?
The meringue powder performs best when allowed to absorb water first and helps the foam to reach its full potential.
troubleshooting - how can i fix the consistency of my icing, it looks too thin.
First, allow the icing to sit. It will thicken in ten minutes. If a thicker consitency is preferred, mix 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar with 2 teaspoons meringue powder and fold this mixture a little at a time until you arrive at the desired consistency. We recommend weighing all the ingredients, measuring a teaspoon of liquid can vary from utensil to utensil.
consistency
Add droplets of water with a squeeze bottle. The mixture will loosen up with just a little bit of water. Tip - if using liquid coloring or flavor extracts, add these first before adding water to thin.
