Hints
|
When working with egg whites, make sure that all utensils are free of grease.
It is almost impossible to specify the exact amount of sugar that your recipe needs as it depends on the size of the egg whites as well as the moisture content of your powdered sugar.
Keep frosting covered with a damp cloth at all times to keep it from drying out.
