Steps:
- In a small, heavy-bottom saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, corn syrup, and 4 tablespoons water. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Rub a bit of the mixture between your fingers, making sure any graininess has disappeared. Raise heat, and bring to a boil without stirring. Continue boiling, occasionally washing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent sugar from crystallizing, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees, about 5 minutes. (Depending on the humidity, this can take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.) Remove the syrup from heat (temperature will keep rising).
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. With mixer on medium-low speed, pour syrup in a steady stream down side of bowl (to avoid splattering).
- Beat the frosting on high speed until cool, about seven minutes. It should be thick and shiny. Use immediately.
SNOWY SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING
Use this recipe to frost the outer layer of the Birch de Noel cake. The simplest way to test whether the sugar has dissolved is by rubbing the mixture between your fingers; it should feel completely smooth with no remaining granules.

Steps:
- In a small, heavy saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup water, and corn syrup; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water (to stop crystals from forming). Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 230°, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 1 tablespoon sugar until combined.
- Once sugar syrup has reached 230°, immediately remove from heat. With mixer on medium-low, carefully pour syrup into egg-white mixture, in a steady stream down sides of the bowl (to prevent splattering). Increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is completely cool and stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Add vanilla and beat until fully incorporated and frosting is shiny and smooth. Use immediately.

Steps:
- Beat powdered sugar, meringue powder and water in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until sugar is moistened. Beat on high speed 5 to 7 minutes or until very glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Place icing in decorating bag with #10 tip. Or place icing in strong plastic bag; cut off a tip from one corner of bag. Keep damp paper towel over tip when not in use to prevent icing from hardening.
- Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper or cooking parchment paper. Enlarge or reduce patterns (use your browser's search to find and print snowflake patterns); slide patterns under waxed paper. Trace patterns by piping on frosting, tracing longest lines of pattern first. Use a small paintbrush dipped into water to smooth any irregularities, working on each snowflake as it is piped. For candles, draw snowflakes freehand or use toothpick or pin to etch design before piping icing.
- Lightly brush entire snowflake with water; immediately sprinkle with glitter (use only edible glitter or sugar if snowflakes are to be eaten). Let dry; remove from waxed paper. To hang as decorations, attach nylon thread to one end.
