1

Whip up some meringue

In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 egg whites, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. With an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

2

Add a splash of mermaid colors

Divide the meringue into 3 separate bowls. Using food coloring, tint each bowl with a different mermaid-inspired color. Feel free to go wild with aqua, seafoam green, and lavender!

3

Create mesmerizing swirls

Prepare a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Fill the bag with the colored meringue, layering the different colors to create a marbled effect. Pipe swirls onto a lined baking sheet, forming meringue mists that resemble waves.

4

Bake to perfection

Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C). Bake the meringue mists for 1.5-2 hours or until they are completely dry and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent any browning.

5

Let the mists cool and decorate

Once the meringue mists have cooled completely, gently remove them from the baking sheet. To add a touch of mermaid sparkle, dust them with edible glitter or sprinkle on some shimmering sugar. You can even attach tiny edible seashell candies for an extra whimsical touch.
