Frosting Cement

Directions

1. 1
   Beat the egg whites with the 1/2 tsp cream of tartar until stiff.
2. 2
   Add the 1 cup of powdered sugar and beat 5 minutes with mixer. Add second cup of sugar and beat until it holds it's shape. If the icing doesn't look thick enough for you just gradually add a little more sugar as you mix icing or if it's not moist enough add a few drops of water until it reaches desired consistency. (The size of the egg whites can vary and effect the consistency).
3. 3
   Add food coloring if desired.
4. 4
   Transfer to a bowl and cover with a damp cloth or press plastic wrap in the bowl directly over frosting and lift up only when you need to get more icing.
5. 5
   It is reccomended that you use an electric (stand) mixer, not a hand mixer because it will give your hand mixer a workout!
