STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
This is a variation of a boiled or seven-minute style frosting that I love. Strawberry gelatin gives it a boost of flavor and makes it marshmallowy good. You could use other flavors and colors of gelatin to suit your theme. It sets up fairly quick so you'll want to use it right after you make it.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and cook to 240 degrees F (116 degrees C) or until a the mixture makes a wispy thread when dripped from a spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin. Set aside for just a second while you start the egg whites. If it starts to look weird, give it a quick stir. The gelatin mixture may look grainy, but it will smooth out once it gets mixed in.
- Whip egg whites in a clean dry bowl to soft peaks. If you have a stand mixer, use it, otherwise you may need a helper to whip while you pour. Slowly pour, or spoon the sugar mixture into the egg whites while continuing to whip to stiff glossy peaks. Use to frost a cake or cupcakes. This frosting does not need to be refrigerated.

Tips:

- Bring the butter and cream cheese to room temperature before you start mixing. This will make it easier to cream them together.
- Beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar gradually. This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or lumpy.
- Mix in the strawberry puree until well combined. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure that all of the puree is incorporated.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream. If the frosting is too thin, add a little bit more powdered sugar.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. The frosting can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
