Have the material very cold. Break the eggs carefully, beat the whites

press through a tube. It may be divided and different colorings added.

1 cup granulated sugar.
1/3 cup boiling water.
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar.

Boil the sugar and water together until it hangs from the spoon. Beat
the egg to a stiff froth, add the cream of tartar, then pour on the
syrup, beating all the while. Beat until cold and thick.
