meringue powder has cream of tartar added to it so it will foam up and make a meringue. Albumen pwder is just plain powdered egg whites as far as I am aware.

So would albumen powder be better to use in royal icing strings & extension work?
O - and thanks for replying
I use CK brand meringue powder exclusively for royal icing. It works the best. You can purchase it at http://www.countrykitchensa.com
