Just make sure that the boiler don’t touch the water. Try and leave out the lemon juice. Make sure that all sugar is melted in the whites before you start to beat. Hope it works.

Hi Louise!

Thanks for your quick response! I ended up not using it as it was too runny. I even added a little powdered sugar to hopefully stiffen it up but to no avail. Despite the consistency, it was still delicious and creamy. I will try again though; I really want to make this wonderful looking frosting!

Could it be that maybe the heat from the double boiler was too high? I did wait for the water to have a high boil. Should I try it on a lower heat? Or as for the egg whites, should I reduce it to just one, maybe? I really appreciate all the help 🙂 !! Thanks Louise!!

I have also tried to make it where it would not come into peaks. In the end I had to use it because I did not wanted to beat forever. I dont think that its the lemon juice that cause the problems more the egg whites. I hope that you can still use it.

How long do you have to beat the mixture over the boiler? I did it for about 10 – 15 minutes and it still hasn’t peaked 🙁 I used the lemon juice instead of cream of tartar. Could this be why? Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly.

Does it just take a while to stiffen, maybe? You response is appreciated 🙂

Sorry Esther, I have been away on a short trip to London. I do hope that things worked out for you?

Your website is as attractive as your cakes! May I know how well this Angel feather frosting holding the shape compared to IMBC? How about storage? In the fridge or room tempurature and how many days it will last? Sorry for many questions. We are celebrating Chinese New Year and I am baking on next Sunday for our pot luck celebration. Thanks and have a great day!

Best regards,

Esther, Finland

You can try with glucose syrup. Only the frosting may be a little more flexible.
