Fantastic icing! If I can make this anyone can. Delicious, fluffy, not too sweet.

Very yummy tasting! But more a meringue than frosting. I was afraid of using raw egg, so I opted for powdered egg white. I also did not have cream of tartar, but looked up an alternative online (1/4 teaspoon lemon juice for every 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar). It worked fine, using a stand mixer, taking about 10 minutes of beating. I could have eaten the whole bowl, right there in the kitchen, and not even spread it on the cake :) The day after, the liquid in the egg white seeped into the cake (good thing, as it needed it). However, the meringue was a bit dry. I would make this for an 'on-the-day' cake that will get eaten entirely (like a picnic or party). On the second day, I drizzled a bit of soft jam over it, and that helped. I would not make it for a keeper cake, as it quickly deteriorates. Thank you, though, for providing an alternative cake frosting! I can envisage other uses for it, and will make it again for these.

I was pretty dissapointed with this recipe. I beat the icing with an electric hand mixer for more than twenty minutes before I gave up. While I am sure that the icing would have tasted great, I just don't have enough time to beat an icing for half an hour.

Loved it!! Perfectly not too sweet...it did take a long time for me to beat it to the right state but that may have been the little extra vanilla extract that go in there.

it tasted realy good but for the life of me i could not get it to whip up. I think that the recipy calls for to much water. but you can make it pretty much any flavor by ading a different extract i used peppermint.

Had zero problems making this icing. I decided to try it because I was out of confectioner's sugar. It pipes very nicely with easy cleanup of the bags. Did not like the taste of this icing. The next day the raw egg whites in it made it impossible for me to eat. A stronghold in my mind about the raw eggs I suppose but still did not enjoy this icing. Don't care for storing cupcakes in the refrigerator but with the raw eggs in the icing it had to be so. Won't make this again.

Loved this recipe. I like frosting but it was a hot day out and I didn't feel like heavy butter icing so this was a nice change. I will defiantly make this again! I added a little jello powder for extra taste and food coloring for color, however it did take alot of food color to make a noticeable difference.

I thought it tasted absolutely delicious but didn't fluff up as much as it was supposed to which is why I gave it 4 stars. Everyone loved it though! I will be making it again this week for my mom because she loved it when I made it last week!
