What are you putting it in? If you're trying to make royal icing, that's not going to work without egg white or meringue powder, but if you're making buttercream, you can leave out the meringue powder without any problems.
I thought meringue powder was pretty much just dried egg whites?
I know there are vegan cakebooks out there, they should have some recipes that are sans eggs.

Sorry I should have been specific - for now the issue is buttercream icing, next month it may be royal icing. I'll try leaving it out of the buttercream - I thought the meringue makes the icing crust?
I've tried the Wilton recipe and nothing makes it crust for me...when they changed the recipe to include meringue powder I tried that too...still no crusting.
This is the one I use: http://cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-6992-Indydebis-Crisco-Based-Buttercream-Icing.html It tastes wonderful, crusts very well, and I just looked up the dream whip ingredients and there are no eggs.
About the royal icing...I don't think you can make royal without egg or meringue powder. If you're wanting to use it on cookies, maybe you could use fondant instead.
