Price's Baking Powder
Boil sugar and water without stirring until syrup spins a thread; add
very slowly to beaten whites of eggs; add flavoring and baking powder
and beat until smooth and stiff enough to spread. Put over boiling
water, stirring continually until the icing grates slightly on bottom
of bowl. Spread on cake saving a small portion of the icing to
ornament the edge of cake. This can be forced through a pastry tube,
or through a cornucopia, made from ordinary white letter paper.
