Preparation

Step 1

Use with Strawberries & Cream Cake

Over medium heat, whisk together sugar, water and cream of tartar in a small saucepan. Continue stirring 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).

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 Frosting, swirling designs using an off-set spatula for added decoration.
