Just curious as to what meringue powder everyone is using and where you are buying it from. I use Wiltons but wonder if there is anything else out there.

Meringue powder is a mixture of dried egg whites, cream of tartar and gum.
I do not know of any other meringue powders other than WIlton. You CAN buy plain dried egg whites....Wilton's Color Flow is basically this...and there is also CK powdered egg whites (I'm sure there are other brands).
I guess it depends on what you are doing. I do not know of anything that MUST have meringue powder. Usually, plain powdered egg whites will do, though the gums and cream of tartar do add to stabilization of certain things.

I do use the carton egg whites for SMBC, and always used fresh egg whites for RI before I discovered cookie-ing - I didn't know such a thing as meringue powder existed!
Here's some info on both methods... http://www.joyofbaking.com/RoyalIcing.html

McCall's is the brand I use. It's a store here near Toronto. They ship within Canada, but I don't think it's available to ship anywhere international....even to the States?

I just remembered that Ateco makes a meringue powder. I picked up some years ago at Sur La Table. They stopped carrying it as their account turned to Wilton, but I called yesterday and they are trying to get it back as they have had so many complaints from pros about the Wilton.
I did a quick search and found it available on-line (Amazon, etc.).

Tracy - have you used the Ateco brand before? How do you think it compares to Wilton?

Bonnie - I used it and noticed it 'acted differently' than the Wilton. However, it was years and years ago, before I really started 'cookie-ing' and found Antonia74's recipe, so I cannot give an accurate assesment. As I vaguely recall, I just had to make sure not to mix it too much as it got 'fluffy' and I go more for thick and creamy. No taste comparison, unfortunately, but once I got the mixing down, it was fine.

Monday I ordered a meringue powder from Country Kitchen Sweet Art. I should have it tomorrow and Iwill check it out on the weekend I will let you know how it goes. Someone in the forum posted about adding lemon juice to the merinque powder and ever since I have been doing that it made a big difference in the taste and smell. I have been using lemon emulsion instead. I really like it.
