It is brilliant white but it can be coloured and flavoured to suit your needs.<br \/>\nYou will need a candy thermometer for this recipe. I have been asked where I got my thermometer from. \u00a0I bought this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0000AQL25\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=howtocookthat-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=B0000AQL25\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Candy Thermometer<\/a> for around twenty dollars. It did not have high reviews due to the fact that you can not program it to alarm when it reaches custom temperatures &#8211; if you want that you will have to pay hundreds, I have found this one to be really good and the price suited my budget.<\/p>\n<p><!--prep time in this section of code remember to write time twice, once next to title PT eg 15M title and the once that appears on webpage --><\/p>\n<p><!--nutrition remember in calories--><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Prep time: <span class=\"preptime\">10 min<\/span><br \/>\nCook time: <span class=\"cooktime\">15 min<\/span><br \/>\nTotal time: <span class=\"duration\">25 min <\/span><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--ingredients go here--><\/p>\n<div><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"ingredient\"><span class=\"amount\">1\/4 teaspoon<\/span> <span class=\"name\">cream of tartar<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"ingredient\"><span class=\"amount\">3<\/span> <span class=\"name\">large eggs<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"ingredient\"><span class=\"amount\">1 cup<\/span>\u00a0or 216g (7.62 ounces)\u00a0<span class=\"name\">caster sugar<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"ingredient\"><span class=\"amount\">1\/4 cup<\/span>\u00a0or 63g (2.22 ounces)\u00a0<span class=\"name\">water<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"ingredient\"><span class=\"amount\">1 teaspoon<\/span> <span class=\"name\">vanilla<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BAye9nrNg6A\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<div class=\"instruction\">1. \u00a0Separate the eggs, add the cream of tar tar and whisk the white to form soft peaks.<\/div>\n<div class=\"instruction\">2. \u00a0Put the sugar and the water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Wash down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush and leave unstirred until it reaches 238<sup>o<\/sup>F or 114<sup>o<\/sup>C on a candy thermometer.<\/div>\n<div class=\"instruction\">3. Immediately remove from heat and with the beaters running pour in a thin stream into the egg whites.<\/div>\n<div class=\"instruction\">4. Beat until cooled. \u00a0This can take a while so if using hand mixers i like to put a bowl of iced water underneath the mixing bowl to speed up the cooling process. When it is cool it will be thick smooth and glossy.<\/div>\n<div class=\"instruction\">5. Add flavours and colours if desired. Note:\u00a0if you want brilliant white, do not add vanilla essence as it will give a creamy tinge.<\/div>\n<div class=\"instruction\">6. Spread a thick layer over the cake and use a palette knife or back of a large knife to smooth.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--remember to add class=\"photo\" and to alt to all img tags test page with http:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\/richsnippets--><\/p>\n<p>This video shows how to make the lego logo:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Txhd5C2Sl-s\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \n<h4 align=center>My Cookbook<\/h4>\n<p align=center>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/cook-crazy-sweet-creations-cookbook-ann-reardon\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"40%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hardcover-book-mockup-of-a-woman-reading-3409-el1.png\" alt=\"ann reardon crazy sweet creations cookbook\" title=\"Crazy Sweet Creations Cookbook\" style=\"opacity: 0.8; -moz-opacity: 0.8;\" class=\"fade\" \/><\/a>\n<\/br>\nStores that sell my book listed by country:  \n<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook<\/a>\n<\/br>\nAll recipe quantities in the book are in grams, ounces and cups.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/lego-ninjago-cake-how-to-make-italian-meringue\/\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0851-150x150.jpg\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"lego ninjago cake how to cook that\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0851-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0851-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0851-1200x1200-cropped.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-wp-pid=\"149\" \/><\/a><p>Italian Meringue Frosting With a new baby in the house, this cake needed to be simple to make.
