  • food coloring (if you want to make different colors. )

Directions

    In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together.

    When the egg whites are whipped to firm peaks, turn the mixer to low and spoon in the powdered sugar.

  3. 3

    Continue adding in the powdered sugar until it's gone, then turn the mixer on high to whip again.

  4. 4

    Once it becomes fluffy (only a few minutes) it's done. It should be sticky, fluffy and thick!
