- Add egg whites and sugar to the bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the double boiler.

- Paint stripes of gel food coloring up the side of a piping bag.
- Fill with the meringue and pipe a mini cup by piping 3 inch coils and piping a second layer on the last coil to make a lip.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until the meringue easily come off the baking sheet. Turn off the heat and let meringue cool down in the oven.
