Notes
- You can make fresh whipped cream if desired using 2 cups whipping cream, 4 tablespoons powdered sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
- You must use vinegar water to help set the color otherwise your eggs will not grab the color or marble.
- Some use shaving cream, but I would not recommend it especially if you plan to eat the hard boiled eggs, which I also would not recommend …especially if they have been out of the refrigerator for too long of a period of time.
