How to Substitute Color Flow for Meringue Powder
Color Flow mix is a Wilton product used to make edible two-dimensional and three-dimensional decorations for cakes, cookies and desserts. Since it contains dried egg whites, Color Flow can be used as a substitute in recipes calling for meringue powder or egg whites. Make sure to use dry and grease-free utensils when working with Color Flow mix because any grease or dirt can cause the product to disintegrate. Does this Spark an idea?
