Instructions
1
Beat the Icing
Place the powdered sugar, egg white, and cream of tartar in a small stainless-steel bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until the icing reaches the desired stiff consistency, usually after about 5–7 minutes.
2
Test the Consistency
Put a small amount of icing into a piping bag and test whether it holds its shape. If it slumps immediately, it has not been beaten enough.
3
Adjust the Color
If the color is not deep enough, add some food coloring during mixing and continue beating.
