1.  Beat all ingredients at low speed for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until icing forms peaks.
2.  Mix in food coloring gel to get the color you want.  (I use a toothpick full. A little goes a long way)
3.  This icing hardens quickly so be sure to keep the icing covered with a wet towel or place in plastic bag.
