can I use 1/2 powdered egg whites and 1/2 egg whites? I'd perfer not to use merengue powder. thanks! also, how much frosting does this one recipe make? I am making 4 dozen cupcakes. yes, that combination will certainly work; I've done it myself. The recipe makes at least 5 cups of frosting; depending on how much air gets whipped into it. If you're piping with a large star tip, you'll use more frosting than if you use a smaller one. You can also "stretch" the recipe by adding another 1/2 pound of butter. Susan
