Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated cane sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, stir to combine sugar, water and cream of tartar in a small saucepan. Continue whisking together until the mixture bubbles and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat immediately (the mixture may start to brown, but do not allow it to cook to dark brown or to burn).
  • Allow mixture to cool some while while preparing other ingredients.
  • Combine egg whites and vanilla in a mixer bowl. Slowly stir in the cooked sugar mixture with beaters on low. Increase mixer speed to high for 6 minutes, or until the frosting has whipped to stiff peaks when tested with a rubber spatula.
  • Frost cakes with a thick layer of Fluffy as Clouds Frosting, swirling designs using an off-set spatula for added dimension.
  • Frosting is best when enjoyed the day it is made.
