Fluffy Pink Frosting

I made some mini-cupcakes for Mother-I-L's birthday and used this fun and pretty pink frosting recipe. Yum!

Microwave Fluffy Pink Frosting

1/4 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 Tbsp. water
1 egg white
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 drops red food color, or 2-3 tbsp. strawberry sugar juice

Mix sugar, corn syrup and water in 2 qt. measure. Microwave uncovered on high until mixture boils, about 1 minute.

Beat egg white in a 1 1/2 qt. bowl until soft peaks form. Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg white, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla and food color, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Double recipe for a 9 x 13 cake pan.

Note: You can beat in the juice from sugared strawberries or thawed frozen strawberries instead of the red food coloring.
