    Smooth, shiny, and tasty like a marshmallow! It was perfect! Thank you for helping me NOT buy any more trans-fat crappy frosting from a can.

    I tried this recipe today and it took me nearly 30 mins to make the frosting thicken, I followed the instructions and it just did not want to thicken. I ended up having to microwave it for 2 mins with 30 seconds added at a time and then beat it some more so that it would thicken. The recipe calls for way too much vanilla, I put only 1 teaspoon in, because I know vanilla is overpowering, and it was still a bit strong. I would recommend using the microwave in this recipe and add less vanilla like I did.

    I should've had this years ago....its so easy to remember..made mine with tarter not corn syrup( just think it would b healthier....but the sad thing is...my mixer broke and I had to mix it by hand and I didn't hav a double broiler so I did it ol skool way with the glass bowl into a pot...which worked fine..lot of steam...but after 10-15 mins of stirring really fast....I let it sit and then after an hour...i flipped my lemon bundt cake over and added the frosting...had to whip it up...( it would've been fluffier with electric mixer but it still was fluffy and good...mmmmmm....and im keeping this for future cakes...because you can add any flavor besides vanilla...thanks paula..soooo much...your a lifesaver...

    I live at 7200 ft, so I followed a previous reviewers advice and made mine in a sauce pan over low heat. It cam out perfect. It is fluffy and sweet, just like a marshmallow. I will definitely be making this again.

    This was so easy to make and it turned out perfectly. I put the cake with the frosting under the broiler and it gave it a nice light brown color. Thanks

    Really needed a frosting for my cake. Did not read the instructions and added everything together. Oops noticed the double boiler problem. Well all you really have to do is cook the eggs. After mixing it all together Microwaved 30 seconds then blended on high. Did that about 4 times till i had a glossy yummy thick frosting. Delicious

    I did everything exactly as the recipe indicated, but after 7 minutes (7 HOT MINUTES, standing over a stove in a New Orleans kitchen on a 90 degree day the icing didn't thicken. I read the other reviews and poured my icing into a saucepot and beat it for 7 more minutes, but still nothing!

    In answer to the comment about not setting up at high altitude -- it won't if you use a double boiler.The water does not get hot enough (boils at a lower temperature at high altitude. You need to cook it directly on the heat. I used a low-to-medium heat and kept beating and stirring so it would not scorch. Have made this several times and works great!

    Used new cream of tartar, even tried twice. Could this be a high altitude problem? We live at 5450.
