Notes
Creating Egg Whites
Egg whites are pretty easy to make but you have to watch them. First separate your eggs and pour the white part of the egg into a mixing bowl. Turn on high speed and let the whites begin to form, which takes about 5 minutes. Once they are at stiff peaks, you can use them! If you do not have a standing mixer, they are great for projects like this so you don't tire out on a hand mixer.
