Here’s an old clipping from a box of C and H Sugar, date unknown. Recipe is typed below along with a scanned copy.
FROSTINGS
PINK PERFECTION FROSTING
Fluffy and velvety smooth!
1 pound C and H Powdered Sugar
1/4 cup (2 medium) egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water
1/3 cup (2/3 stick) soft butter or margarine
Red food coloring
Combine all ingredients except food coloring in mixer bowl. Blend at low speed, then beat at high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. (Scrape bowl often.) Beat in red food coloring a drop at a time until frosting is a luscious pink. (if too stiff, beat in a few drops of water.) Frosts tops and sides of two 8″ or 9″ layers.
Thanks so much for posting the recipe for Pink Perfection frosting! My mom always frosted my birthday cakes with this when I was a little girl and I have been searching for this recipe for a long time. I’m so happy to have finally found it! :-)
This was a family favorite for our Valentine’s Day cake growing up in the 70’s. On Angel food cake, it’s a real winner!
