Steps:
- Place the wafer paper in the bottom of a jelly roll pan, and set aside. The paper should not overlap. Pour egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; set aside. Measure out powdered sugar and salt. Set aside until needed.
- In a medium saucepan, stir the honey, corn syrup, water, and granulated sugar together. Wipe down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to rinse down any sugar granules. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook until it just begins to simmer - about 4 minutes. Clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the saucepan; continue to heat, stirring occasionally.
- When the thermometer registers 310°F, remove the honey mixture from heat. The temperature will rise to 320°F degrees while the mixture sits in the pan off the heat. Stir until temperature drops to 300°F degrees, and quickly make the meringue.
- Begin to beat the egg whites on medium speed. Once the egg whites are frothy, lower the speed, add the salt and confectioner's sugar, and then return to medium speed to whisk the meringue to soft peaks. Turn up the mixer speed to high, and, with mixer running, slowly pour the honey mixture into the egg-white mixture (see video above). Beat until mixture thickens (approximately 5 minutes) and begins to stick to beaters. Once the nougat has thickened and is getting trapped inside the whisk, remove the mixer bowl from the stand.
- Dust your countertop with cornstarch. Pour the mixture onto the cornstarch-covered surface. Gently knead about 7 turns - careful, it is still hot! Dust off excess starch. Stretch and roll to fit the pan; place the mixture in pan. Let cool on a wire rack for a few hours. Cut the desired number and size of rounds with a metal biscuit or cookie cutter. (I used a 1 1/4 inch cutter that fit my tartlet molds)

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottom saucepan to evenly distribute heat and prevent the frosting from scorching. - If the frosting becomes too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved. - For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk. - If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. - To make the cake more festive, add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or candy pieces to the batter. - For a more decadent cake, use chocolate chips or cocoa powder in the batter. - If you don't have time to make the frosting from scratch, you can use store-bought vanilla frosting instead.Conclusion:
