Light Fluffy Angel Icing (Fat Free)

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is similar to marshmallow fluff in texture, I use this on my Wonderful Angel Food Cake it will also work on any cake, use any flavor extract for this and add in food colouring of choice if desired, I like to use coconut extract and add in shredded coconut to the icing and sprinkle more on top of the cake for decoration :)

2. Start beating immediately with a beater until the mixture stands at stiff peaks (this may take a while so do not give up!).
