Recipe Notes
Please note the following:
Make sure you use pasteurized egg whites and NOT raw egg whites. Pasteurized egg whites are available at most grocery stores in a carton in the egg section.
I find that food coloring GEL is a better choice because it's more concentrated and will not impact the liquid level of the icing.
