ORNAMENTAL FROSTING
Store any leftover frosting in a covered jar in the refrigerator for another day’s use
Makes about 3/4 cup
1 egg white
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups 10X (confectioners’ powdered) sugar
Beat egg white, cream of tartar, and vanilla until foamy in a small bowl. Beat in 10X sugar gradually until frosting stands in firm peaks and is stiff enough to hold a sharp line when cut through with a knife.
Note: If you do not wish to make your own decorating frosting, use colored frostings in pressurized cans that come with tips, or decorating icings in plastic tubes, buying tips separately.
