For best results, ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease or oil. If you don't have a double boiler, a heat-safe glass or stainless steel bowl set over a pot of simmering water works perfectly. The corn syrup helps to stabilize the frosting and prevent it from crystallizing, but you can substitute with honey or glucose syrup if preferred. For a flavored variation, try adding a few drops of your favorite extract (such as almond or lemon) along with the vanilla.
