Angel Feather Icing
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (I used almond flavoring)
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam (or more to taste)
Instructions
  1. Put everything except the vanilla and strawberry jam into the top of a double boiler (or in a large metal wide-mouthed mixing bowl) with simmering water beneath. Start beating immediately with a hand-held electric mixer or hand-held egg-beater until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
  2. Remove from heat, add flavoring, and keep on beating. Stir in jam. The mixture should be
  3. quite soft. Allow the mixture to cool. *Note: my jam was homemade and quite runny. If your icing is too soft to “flow”, try adding little teaspoonfuls of milk/cream and stir until you get the desired texture.
  4. Spread over the tops of cupcakes, pushing icing to the edges of the cupcake liner to fill
  5. completely.
