RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ROYAL ICING
To make the spectacular bursts of red, white, and blue royal icing on July 4th desserts, you'll need three pastry bags-one for each color. Fit one bag with a small round tip (we used Ateco #2) and the remaining two with very small tips (such as Ateco #0).

Steps:
- Whisk water and meringue powder with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, and beat until icing holds a ribbonlike trail on the surface for 5 seconds when beater is raised. (Icing should be the consistency of glue.)
- Transfer two-thirds of the white icing to the squeeze bottle with the larger hole or to the pastry bag fitted with the larger tip.
- Divide remaining icing in half, and tint one half using red food coloring and the other half using the 2 blue food colorings until desired colors are achieved.
- Transfer red and blue icings to the remaining 2 squeeze bottles or the pastry bags fitted with the smaller tips.
