Marshmallow Icing

A light and fluffy icing that doesn't actually use marshmallows. My mother used to frost my birthday cake with this tasty icing.

4 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract

Pour room temperature egg whites into mixing bowl.
Blend on high speed until frothy and soft peaks form.
Add sugar gradually while the mixer is running.
Add extract.
Blend in ingredients (about 1 minute). Egg whites will appear glossy and will cling to beaters.
Apply with a spatula.
