Marshmallow Frosting for these Beautiful Soft Rainbow Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 6 egg whites
• 1½ cups sugar
• ¼ tsp cream of tartar
• 1 & ½ tsp vanilla essence

Method

In dry stainless steel, bowl add your egg whites

Place it on top of a pot with boiling water making sure the bowl is not touching the water, keep the pot on the stove on low heat

Start whisking the eggs by hand, add the sugar, and continue to beat until the egg whites are warm and the sugar is dissolved

Take it off the heat and use a hand beater to start beating, add the vanilla and cream of tartar.

Beat continuously for about 10 minutes until the frosting is nice and fluffy

Use immediately

Pipe on the cupcakes.
You can use a blow torch to toast the tops if you like

Feriel modified and instead of the marshmallow frosting used a creamed cheese frosting and piped it in rosettes.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Ziploc bags! Use a Ziploc bag to pipe the batter into the cupcake holders, as it is much easier than spooning and spreading each layer.

Looking for stunning and perfect white frosting rather than use shortening over butter, although, *personal preference*, I think butter tastes better than shortening.

Be cautious, DO NOT overbake the cupcakes, as you for sure DO NOT want the tops turning brown.

In order to get that perfect and beautiful star, you should use a large closed star decorating tip.
