Meringue powder is made from eggs. If you are avoiding because of an allergy I wouldn't use it. If you are avoiding because you are skeeved out by uncooked eggs it's a great choice.

From the web: "meringue powder is made of dried egg whites, sugar, and gum"

See this thread: http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-725090-vegan.html+royal+icing

I should have said:
See this thread about eggless RI. http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-725090-vegan.html+royal+icing

For recipes, put "vegan royal icing" into Google--many links come up.

I usually use a little vanilla extract in mine. I never have saved it. After I finish doing my cookies I usually dump what's left, so I don't know the answer to that.

Is this an allergy thing? What do you want to use the royal for? I can't imagine eggless royal for stringwork or droplines, but maybe to do scrolls or something?

My experience, royal made with meringue powder does not keep or last, it starts to separate and crystalize.

Royal made the traditional way with egg whites, powdered sugar and cream of tarter does keep quite well in an air tight container or a zip lock (to keep it from drying out). It actually pipes better, your strings are stronger and the colors get more vibrant when you let it mature over night.

I fear no egg.

In Canada, I buy a soy based royal icing mix at the Bulk Barn.  It works great.
