For best results, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature. This helps them whip to a greater volume. Be patient during the cooking process; the frosting needs to reach the correct temperature to be stable. If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. The corn syrup helps prevent crystallization, resulting in a smoother frosting.
