Grandaddy's Birthday Cake

I'd like to add to the recipes and memories as the Sr granchild haha
Grandaddy made awesome cakes for birthdays.I have a great memory of a
pink fluffy cake with straws on the sides and lollipops were stuck
into them as candles..I now know the fluffy frosting was called 7
minute frosting.You never made this as a sudden idea.It takes time and
patience.There is a picture of this cake and me blowing out the
candles.Johnny and myself are dressed to the 9's...curls in my
hair..dressy dress and an apron or smock? is on me...
this isn't the original but....it is close.


2 egg whites...room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1/4 tea cream tartar
dash salt
1/4 cup cold water
1 large bag of marshmallows..we now have marshmallow creme(fluff)
if you use fluff..use 1 cup
1 tea vanilla
........my cake had a pink tint so peppermint was used.2 drops of red
color(if you want)
combine all except the vanilla in top of double boiler.Use 2 pots..one
larger if you dont have boiler.
Do not let the bottom of top pot touch the boiling water.
place over boiling water and beat until soft peaks form.This takes at
least 5 full minutes.Do NOT cheat.
Use electric mixer if cord is long enough and safe!!!
otherwise..use your arm muscles...Hot be careful
Remove from heat and beat with mixer or hand spoon till stiff peaks
form.Now you know how it got the name 7 min frosting haha
Add flavor now as it cools.
