FLUFFY FROSTING
This is an amazing fluffy, delicious frosting. It pipes out beautifully, and holds it's shape. The flavor tastes like marshmallow whipped cream. Be sure to whip the hot sugar syrup with the egg whites for a considerable amount of time, about 8-10 minutes (on a Kitchenaid stand mixer) for the best results. I'm sure this would be excellent on any flavor of cake, but it is fabulous on chocolate cake and probably be great on red velvet.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar, water and cream of tartar in a saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium-high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble.

FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
The secret of this light frosting is to mix it with a mixer for the recommended time at high speed. This incorporates air to make it light. 1-1/2 cups frosting is enough to frost the top of one 9 inch cake.

- With an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce speed to medium. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed; after every two additions, raise speed to high and beat 10 seconds to aerate frosting, then return to medium-high. This process should take about 5 minutes. Frosting will be very pale and fluffy.

Steps:
- Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Room temperature egg whites will have more volume when beaten than cold egg whites. In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form.
- In 1-quart saucepan, stir sugar, corn syrup and water until well mixed. Cover and heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and boil 4 to 8 minutes, without stirring, to 242°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed (see Testing Candy Temperature, page 00). For an accurate temperature reading, tilt the saucepan slightly so mixture is deep enough for thermometer.
- Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
- Frost 13x9-inch cake, or fill and frost 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Leftover frosting can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 2 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; do not stir.

Tips for Making Southern Fluffy Frosting:
- Use quality ingredients. This means using real butter, not margarine, and using fresh milk and eggs. The better the ingredients, the better the frosting will taste.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it light and fluffy. Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together for at least 2 minutes.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract gradually. Adding the milk and vanilla extract too quickly can cause the frosting to curdle. Be sure to add them slowly and mix well after each addition.
- Beat the frosting until it is thick and fluffy. This will take several minutes. Be sure to beat the frosting until it is stiff peaks form.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator. Southern fluffy frosting can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to bring it to room temperature before using.
