3 cups sifted confectioner's sugar
2
tablespoons Argo or Kingsford's Cornstarch
1/3 teaspoon cream of tartar
4
drops desired flavoring
Put the egg whites in a bowl with one-half cup of the sugar. Beat 3 minutes, then add the remaining sugar sifted with the cornstarch and cream of tartar, beating in a half cupful at a time. Add two or three drops of the desired flavoring.
When all the sugar is in, a knife should make a clean cut, and the frosting should hold its shape. It may then be spread upon the cake with a knife dipped in hot water, and ornamental designs may be applied by means of a pastry bag and tube. See cake decorating ideas
