Once it comes to a boil, turn down to simmer. In the bowl, add the 5 egg whites, the sugar and the salt. With the bowl placed atop of the pot, start to beat the egg whites, dissolving all of the sugar as you go. This takes approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Continue to beat until peaks start to form in the egg whites and when the bowl is cool to touch. This takes approximately 7 &#8211; 10 minutes.<br \/><br \/>Slowly start to add the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until it is well incorporated. Continue mixing until all the butter has been added. Add the vanilla at the end. Mix well. Separate the icing into 2 different bowls. Add yellow to one bowl and leave the other white.
