Let cool, whisking often.

BASIC SEVEN MINUTE FROSTING

Steps:

• Mate a stainless steel mixing bowl and a large sauce pan. You're making a double boiler.
• Put a few inches of water in the pan and bring to a boil without the mixing bowl on top.
• In the bowl mix all of the ingredients except flavor options with a hand mixer.
• Place the bowl on the boiling pan and mix 'til it's thick enough to stand, about 4 min.
• Remove the bowl from the pan and mix 'til it's thick enough to spread.
• Flavors in the order of my favorites; Vanilla; Mix 1/2 tsp into the finished frosting.
• Lemon; Subtitute 2 TBS Lemon juice for water and mix 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest into the finished Frosting.
• Orange; Same as lemon but use Orange.
• Coconut; Mix 1/4 cup freshly grated coconut into the finished frosting, spread on the cake and sprinkle the top with a bit more coconut.

SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING

Steps:

• Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk the egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, vanilla, cream of tartar and salt in a large heatproof glass bowl. Set the bowl on top of the pan (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Beat with a hand mixer on low speed until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. (If any sugar crystals form on the side of the bowl, brush them down with a wet pastry brush.) Increase the speed to medium high and beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the pan and beat until the frosting cools slightly, about 30 seconds. Use while still slightly warm -- the frosting will firm up and form a hard shell when it cools. Do not refrigerate the frosted cake or the frosting may weep.

• In a large heatproof mixing bowl, combine reserved egg whites, light corn syrup, cream of tartar, water, and sugar.
• Place bowl over simmering water (it should not touch water); with a handheld mixer, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat; beat 3 to 5 minutes more to cool. Use immediately.

QUICK SEVEN MINUTE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, corn syrup, and water. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Rub a bit between your fingers to make sure there is no graininess. Raise heat to bring to a boil. Do not stir any more. Boil, washing down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water from time to time to prevent the sugar from crystallizing, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees, about 5 minutes. (Depending on the humidity, this can take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Remove the syrup from the heat when the temperature reaches 230 degrees (it will keep rising as pan is removed from heat). With the mixer on medium-low speed, pour the syrup in a steady stream down the side of the bowl (to avoid splattering) containing the egg-white mixture.
• Beat frosting on medium until cool, 5 to 10 minutes. The frosting should be thick and shiny. Use immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, cream of tartar, salt, egg whites, and water in a large mixing bowl or double boiler of at least a 2-quart capacity.
• Set over simmering, not boiling, water over moderate heat.
• Beat with a hand electric mixer at high speed for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the frosting stands in definite peaks when the beater is lifted.
• Remove from the water and continue beating for several minutes, until the frosting has cooled and no longer feels hot to your finger, and stands in soft, smooth, billowy peaks.
• Beat in the vanilla.
• You will have enough to generously fill and frost an 8 or 9 inch two-layer cake or a 9 or 10 inch tube cake.
