Boiled icing – Hive and Nest

Here’s the recipe for the boiled icing I used on my cake yesterday. It is incredibly easy, but it takes about 15 minutes to make. You should try making it at least once in your life! This makes a lot of icing. Perfect for a three or four layer cake.

4 large egg whites3 tablespoons water1 1/4 cups sugar1 teaspoon cream of tartarPinch salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
