To make marshmallowy meringue frosting....
Grab 2 eggs and some castor sugar.
Separate the eggs and beat until foamy and thick, start adding the castor sugar slowly a little at a time.Beat well in between adding sugar.
Keep adding small amounts of sugar until the meringue looks glossy and smooth! (check this by feeling the meringue in between your fingers if you cant feel granules if smooth its ready, other wise carry on beating until smooth)
Smooth this over the cake and your done ( i added edible glitter for more fun) Mmmmm
