Ingredients
When it comes to baking a delicious wedding cake, having the right ingredients is essential. For this almond wedding cake icing recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup almond extract
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions
To make this almond wedding cake icing recipe, start by combining the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of your stand or hand mixer. Beat the mixture on high speed until the egg whites become foamy. Slowly add the granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until all of the sugar is incorporated into the mixture and the egg whites are thick and glossy.
Next, add the almond extract and butter and beat the mixture on medium speed for about 1 minute. Then, add the confectioners' sugar and beat the mixture on low speed until everything is well combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat the mixture for an additional 3 minutes, or until the icing is smooth and creamy.
Once the icing is done, you can use it to frost your wedding cake. It's best to use the icing while it's still slightly warm, as it will set and become more solid as it cools. You can also keep the icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
