Decorating Icing
Comments:	This icing, which gets really hard, is perfect to shape flowers, leaves, names.... that will keep their shape, and to decorate Easter Eggs, a little before wrapping. If desired, color this icing to taste using food coloring.

2 egg whites, at room temperature 2 1/4 cups [560 mL] sifted icing sugar 1/4 teaspoon [1 mL] cream of tartar 1/2 teaspoon [2.5 mL] vanilla	Beat together all ingredients, until really stiff. While decorating with icing, keep bowl covered with a damp cloth or waxed paper at all times to prevent a crust from forming on top of icing.
