"Light and fluffy icing. Perfect for an angel food cake. You would swear it was a boiled frosting, all the taste, very little effort! I like to change it up a bit and use maple or peppermint extract instead of the vanilla."

This icing is wonderful!! Very light and not too sweet! I think the trick is to beat the egg/sugar/cream of tartar mixture first before adding the boiling water. Then add the vanilla. We had no problem getting it fluffy as did the last review. Extra icing also stores well in the frig for later use.

FANTASTIC! I didnt have any cream of tartar so I used salt and it came out fantastically. I had to beat it for about 3 minutes longer but WOW! It was gobbled up with requests for more. (I used it on deep dish brownies.) A keeper!

This is yummy! Very easy, too! I was a little worried when I put all the ingredients in the bowl and saw a brownish colored mess, but was more than pleased to discover that after some faithful beating, it turned into a beautiful, fluffy white icing! Thanks!

Wonderful! Very easy. I blended the sugar, egg white and creme of tartar together first, then added the boiling water. I had doubled the recipe, but there was no need as it made plenty. I was skeptical at first b/c it took a while. It took about 12 minutes with the stand mixer and turned out lovely. Make sure to serve the same day it's prepared. Will definitely use again!:)

i found this one too weak to pair with chocolate cupcakes. It is tasty and light though. Overnight it turned much more foamy and I didn't have too much success keeping in the fridge - it seperated.

This is just like my Grandma used to make and I have been searching for this recipe for years. I halved this recipe and put 2 tablespoons of Marshmallow creme into the mixture. Turned out perfect and plenty for my Angel food cake. This is definitely a keeper.

This took forever! I had to beat it for 35 minutes to get it anywhere stiff enough to frost a cake. Stiff peaks never did come into the picture. Absolute thumbs down.

i made this icing for angel food cake. very good!! would suggest storing iced cake in the fridge, as the icing "sweats" the sugar into a syrup on the bottom of the plate, when left out on counter.

Wow - so easy and tastes just like boiled icing, without all the work! Light, fluffy and delicious! Thanks for posting it! By the way, the whisk attachment made it whip up very quickly.
