Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, pour the corn syrup and bring it to a full boil.
  2. Meanwhile, beat eggs whites with cream of tartar until they hold soft peaks.
  3. With the mixer still running on high, slowly add hot corn syrup in a slow, thin but steady stream.
  4. Keep beating until frosting has stiff shiny peaks and hold their shape.
  5. Beat in vanilla.
  6. This recipe makes a lot, so feel free to make only half for a small cake.
  7. Keep frosted cake refrigerated when not serving.
