Main Ingredients

  • 2 large large egg whites Light and fluffy, egg whites form the foundation of this icing.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prepare your workspace, ensuring all tools, like a mixer, clean bowls, and spatulas, are ready.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and salt. Beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy and soft peaks form (2-3 minutes).
  • Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until glossy and stiff peaks form.
  • Slowly add the light corn syrup while mixing on low speed to maintain the airy structure.
  • Incorporate the vanilla extract into the mixture, mixing just until combined.
  • Your White Cloud Icing is now ready to use! Spread it over cooled cakes, pipe it onto cupcakes, or dip cookies.

Notes

For best results, ensure mixing bowls and utensils are clean and free of grease. Room temperature egg whites enhance volume and stability.
