Ornamental Icing

2 egg whites 3 cups sifted confectioner's sugar 2 tablespoons Argo or Kingsford's Cornstarch 1/3 teaspoon cream of tartar 4 drops desired flavoring Put the egg whites in a bowl with one-half cup of the sugar. Beat three minutes, then add the remaining sugar sifted with the cornstarch and cream of tartar, beating in a half cupful at a time. Add two or three drops of the desired flavoring. When all the sugar is in, a knife should make a clean cut, and the frosting should hold its shape. It may then be spread upon the cake with a knife dipped in hot water, and ornamental designs may be applied by means of a pastry bag and tube.
