5- Let them cool before decorating.
To make the skeleton Halloween decoration, we recommend using icing in a tube or a white pastry pen.
You can also make the royal icing yourself using icing sugar and the egg white you reserved earlier.
1- Pour 100g of icing sugar into a bowl and add about half of the egg white. Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon and add a few drops of lemon juice.
