I have made many boiled icings over the years, but this is by far the best. Exceptionally fluffy and not as sweet as others. It also holds up on a two layer cake with no problems.

Very pretty appearance, definately light and fluffy. Easy and fun to make. The texture was a lot like marshmallow fluff. I used non-colored orange flavoring, and it was delicious. I tried this because it used simple ingredients, and no butter. Too sweet and syrupy tasting for my liking, but a good recipe overall.
