Meringue for decorating cakes and pastries
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The easiest and quickest way to decorate cakes is with meringue. However, not all recipes produce meringue that won't melt on cream. With this recipe, the meringue turns out very tasty, light, and doesn't melt on fondant or creams. You can also experiment with colors using different food colorings. Serve chilled.
