This recipe says it's a fluffy boiled icing that crusts! 

thank you for answering but we don't have meringue powder here

AWhere are you located? That may help people be able to answer if it is a regional thing.

i'm from the philippines

AAre you sure it's a boiled icing? Might it just be an American buttercream?

You can just use egg whites in place of meringue powder. Just have to do stove top method and not microwave

it's not buttercream becase it doesn't melt or taste like butter

AHave you tried asking the bakery? Maybe they will tell you ingredients?

i don't think they will since they're pretty famous, anyways, thank you for your time!!!!!!!

AThe best that you can use is egg white to replace meringue powder :)
