Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 If your child tolerates egg white and hydrogenated soy oil, you have many frosting options. The egg white based frostings-- " seafoam " , " divinity " , etc are some of the names-- are one way to go. Check older, classic cookbooks like Joy of Cooking. If newer concerns about uncooked egg whites bother you, you can buy dehydrated egg whites at health food stores under the Just Whites name. Another option is any confectioner's sugar and crisco or margarine frosting; these are usually called " buttercream " frostings. Without eggs or soy, things get a lot tougher. Coconut butter is hard at cool room temperature, so can be made into a frosting. Same with a Spectrum shortening made with palm; I haven't seen it, but it is written about on this list quite often. I'd vote for adding the best quality flavoring you can find, since white frostings don't have a lot in there to flavor them besides the fat and sweetener.
