Add Powdered sugar and vanilla and beat 3 to 5 minutes using stand mixer and flat beater. ( I use speed 4 on my Kitchen Aid mixer) Beat until icing forms stiff peaks.
Add corn syrup and beat until shiny.
Remove the icing you need for todays decorating job. Store the remainder in a closed container. Do not leave exposed to air or it will harden.
Add more water to the icing you are using today a tablespoon at a time until piping consistency.
