INGREDIENTS:
2 large egg whites
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cold water PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1 tablespoon cold water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients, except vanilla, in the top of a double boiler or bowl. Bring water in the bottom of the double boiler or saucepan (if using a bowl) to a simmer. Place top of the double boiler or the bowl over the simmering water. Immediately begin whipping mixture three minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed. Increase speed to high and beat another three minutes. Remove top of double boiler. Add vanilla. Beat one minute on high speed until mixture holds stiff peaks and is satiny.
1 batch makes enough to fill and frost a double layer 8 or 9-inch cake.

This came out less like icing and more like marshmallow creme. I followed the recipe, but if by "satiny" you meant "sticky like a marshmallow" then this came out correct. I would probably never make this again, sorry,

I'm so glad I know how to make marshmallows now! I don't know whether the corn syrup caused the icing to turn out so sticky and marshmallow-y or if the fault was in my preparation. On the up side, I may never buy marshmallows again...super easy recipe for that fluffy cocoa topper.
