Gingerbread Christmas tree with star ornaments

This fancy cookie makes a beautiful (and tasty) holiday centrepiece.

Royal Icing
1/2 cup (125 mL) water
1/4 cup (50 mL) meringue powder
4-2/3 cups (1.15 L) icing sugar

• In large bowl, beat water with meringue powder until foamy, about
2 minutes.
• Beat in icing sugar, 1 cup (250 mL) at a time, until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted, about 4 minutes. Cover with damp towel to prevent drying out. (Make-ahead: Overwrap damp towel–covered icing with plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 1 day. Beat well before using.) Makes 1 batch, about 3 cups (750 mL).
