Meringue Cakes in General

Make white icing or meringue paste according to directions in preceding articles and add two more whites to thin it. Color some of it and leave some white. Spread it over sheets of any sort of cake, or on small cakes and bake in a very slack oven with something under the cakes to keep them from too much baking at bottom. Granulated sugar may be sifted over the top before baking, or colored sugar sand on the white.
