This is the easiest frosting I have ever made, the first time for me making a frosting of this type. Excellent!

I have loved seven-minute icing since I was a little girl but I remember my nana making it by mixing while it was on the stove. That made me very nervous so I never tried. Then, I found a recipe that was different but didn't require handmixer and stove at the same time. It didn't turn out well. This one did! It is heaven! My husband who has only liked canned icing (yuk!) in the past, loves this one too! Can't wait to have my daughter taste it!

So delicious!!! I just finished frosting my cupcakes and couldn't wait to eat one. It was very much like marshmallow fluff but very good. Super sticky to work with, I tried using a cake decorating bag to frost with and it was very hard to get the stickyness into the bag after the first time, but well worth it. I also added the 2 tbls of corn syrup since I read the other reviews before I made this. Two thumbs up!

This turned out to be easy if you follow the directions exactly although it might seem complicated, it actually wasn't at all. One thing that helped me is a tip I read that if you don't stir the sugar mixture as it boils, you won't have the problem with crystals. Although I love the way mine turned out, depending on how it holds up I might have beaten it longer, we'll see. And next time I will use a candy thermometer for peace of mind. Oh, and it was raining cats and dogs and still came out great, this is definately on my list of go to ideas; I had everything I needed in the pantry, which is always awesome.

This whipped up fantastically! It's a nice, soft frosting with a sweet flavor (kind of like marshmallow fluff). The only change I made was to half the vanilla (so only 1/2 tsp. instead of 1 tsp). I also added pink food coloring for valentine's day. Cupcakes looked so cute! Great recipe!

First time making this frosting or any meringue type frosting for that matter! This was amazing, truley a wonderful frosting that is light, fluffy and easy to make. I did add 2 tbsp of light corn syrup as other reviewers suggested. I do not have a candy thermometer, but I set my timer for 3 1/2 mintes from the exact time the syrup started to boil. Quickly removed from heat and added to the FOAMY egg whites, very slowly and in a tiny constant stream. I dont know if anybody has tried, but I dont think this frosting would be easy to frost a cake or cupcakes after it was completley cooled. I frosted my cupcakes while the frosting was still slightly warm but not cool or hot. I used my kitchen aid mixer for this, I couldnt imagine trying to make this with a hand mixer! Great recipe Will keep and use in place of buttercream (which I HATE making)!

It was good, but does anyone know if you can freeze this? There is so much of it, I haven't even used half.

honestly I followed the directions exactly and my frosting was runny but I went with it. I dumped it on my cake and let run down it like a drizzle. My taste testers gave it a thumbs up. I used the karo like suggested too. Currently my cake is in the fridge I hope the frosting wont run off completely. I think I will try another recipe next cake
