Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 4 of 12
Beat the egg whites.
Step 5 of 12
Gradually pour the hot syrup into the egg whites while continuing to beat (do this carefully so that the syrup does not touch the whisk).

Continue beating until a stiff, fluffy mixture is formed.
Step 7 of 12
Divide the mixture: leave one part plain and mix the other with food colorings.
Step 8 of 12
Distribute the uncolored egg whites into one piping bag and the colored ones into a second one.
Step 9 of 12
Place a nozzle (for example, a closed star) in a third bag. Place both bags with egg whites inside the bag with the nozzle.
Step 10 of 12
Form meringues (5–7 cm in diameter).
Step 11 of 12
Insert the skewers.

If there is space left, arrange the remaining meringues. Place them in an oven preheated to 90 degrees. Dry (bake) for 1.5–2 hours.
