Petits Fours Frosting

Ingridients

1 cup white sugar

1 dash cream of tartar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup water

1 drop red food coloring

1 drop green food coloring

1 drop yellow food coloring

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

Combine sugar, cream of tartar, salt, and water in a small saucepan. Cook to the soft ball stage, 234 - 240 degrees F (112 - 115 degrees C). Cool to lukewarm.

Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to make mixture thick enough to almost hold its shape. Stir in flavoring. Divide into 4 parts. Leave one part white and tint other portions pink, yellow, and green.

To ice petits fours, place them on a cooling rack and spoon the icing/frosting over the top until covered.
