Nice, clare! These sound good, except for the part where you make all the colors with the icing. I am NOT a patient person. You still get my five!

Got my 5 forks. I've never used powdered egg whites/meringue powder but there's a first time for everything and I'm willing to try because I really like your recipe ;)
