"This light-as-a-cloud frosting is much like a meringue. Try it over chocolate, white, yellow or angel food cake. for an added garnish, sprinkle the top and sides of the frosted cake with coconut."

Directions
- In a saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads 242 degrees F (firm-ball stage). Meanwhile, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl until foamy. Slowly pour in hot sugar mixture; continue to beat on high for 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla. Continue beating until frosting reaches desired consistency, about 2 minutes.
