Sticky Icing

1/2 C sugar
2 T water
1/4 c. white corn syrup

Mix the above ingredients in a sauce pan. Put on the heat on medium and slowly let the mixture come to a rolling boil. Use the candy thermometer and let the mixture get to 242 degrees (soft ball stage)

While the mixture is heating up, beat 2-3 egg whites in a glass bowl. The egg whites need to be STIFF.

Once the mixture has gotten to 242 remove from heat. The next part is tricky and might need 2 people. Have one person be mixing the egg whites with a hand mixer while the other person slowly pours the mixture into the egg whites. It has to be poured at a slow steady pace or else it won't mix properly. This process takes about 7 minutes!
