Ingredients
5 egg whites
1/2 cup of water
2 cups of granulated sugar
1 tsp clear vanilla
Food coloring in pink
----------------------------------------------------
How to do:
In a saucepan bring the water and the sugar to boil by stirring occasionally. Let the sugar dissolve and syrup forms to soft ball.
Meanwhile beat the egg whites and the pinch of salt in a grease-free bowl of a standing mixer - you do need both hands :) - to soft peak.
While your mixer is running, slowly pour the hot syrup into egg whites in a stream. Make sure you don't pour on the whisk, it is very hot take a precaution! Keep beating 5 min. and add vanilla and a drop of food coloring. ( I used Wilton coloring gel in pink). Keep going another 2 min. or more till frosting becomes glossy and cool.
You should use this frosting on a cool cake. I use this frosting if I am going serve the cake right away, it doesn't look good day after , even though taste still stays delicious.
You can use icing bag or a spatula to decorate.
