Cake Icing... my way

HOW TO MAKE AN ICING ...my way

This recipe is sometimes called Marshmallow Icing, Boiled Icing or Regular Icing

You will need:
2 egg whites (large egg)
1 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tbsp corn syrup

If you need to increase the amount of icing you need, just follow the 2:1 ratio (2 egg whites to 1 cup of sugar)

Things you need:
electric mixer
whisk
double boiler






In a mixer bowl, dissolve the sugar together with the egg whites

Over a double boiler, heat the mixture until it reaches the thread stage or ball stage or if you have a candy thermometer, until it reaches 160F.


Keep the heat at minimum. Makesure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the boiling water.


the syrup should be very watery at this stage or if you let it drip, you'll see the thread-like syrup, by then your meringue is ready to be whip



remove from the double boiler and add the cream of tartar and corn syrup at this stage. With the whisk attachment of your K/A Mixer, set your mixer on high or 10 and whisk for about 10 to 15 minutes. You will see that the meringue will double or triple in volume. Whisk until you reach hard stiff peaks.




your icing is now ready to be tinted to any color you desire.


I do recommend the Americolor soft gel paste. A little drop goes a long long way, so be careful when adding the gel paste.




you can make rossetes, borders, leaves,or just about anything ...
