Prepare the icing. To do this, in a mixing bowl combine the reserved egg whites, sugar, and a little citric acid. Beat the mixture until it turns white, but do not beat until foamy. The icing should be slightly runny. Divide the icing into 4 parts. Leave one part white, and add food coloring to the remaining parts.
