Whip the egg whites
Put 5 egg whites into a bowl and use a hand mixer to beat at low speed until frothy like soap bubbles. Then, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice and continue to beat.
Divide the sugar into 3 parts and gradually add each part one at a time while beating until dissolved. Beat each part of the sugar mixture for about 30 seconds at low speed before adding the next part.
When adding the last part of the sugar to the egg whites, switch the mixer to high speed and beat the egg whites until they are soft and fluffy, with a cream-like pattern, the mixture is sticky, shiny, and smooth. When you lift the whisk, it should form a soft peak.
-
Mix food coloring
Divide the whipped egg white mixture into 2 bowls. Then, add 1 drop of pink and green food coloring to each bowl. Use a flat spatula to mix evenly from the bottom up until the batter is uniformly colored.
First, put the pink cream into a piping bag, then add the green cream into the bag.
Tip: You can mix colors according to your own preferences.

Shaping the rose
Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the skewers on top. Squeeze the cream slowly in a spiral shape to create the rose.
If there is leftover cake batter, you can shape it into standing peaks.
