Edible Spiders

These are very fragile, but enough stayed intact to give the desired
effect...I used a decorating tube to pipe the icing into spider shapes
on waxed paper. They are made from Royal Icing, which needs to be used
right away since it hardens to a rocklike texture very quickly!

Royal Icing
16 oz powdered sugar (icing sugar)
3 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Beat until peaks firmly hold their shape, and the more you beat it, the
firmer it gets.

I only made a third of this recipe and I still had tons of icing left
over after making two dozen spiders. I used black paste food coloring to
get it as dark as I could.
