Boiled Frosting

2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons flavoring 1 cup water Heat sugar and water to boiling, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Then boil without stirring until the syrup threads when dropped from the end of a spoon or fork or until it forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water. Flavor, and pour the frosting over the cake, using a silver knife to guide it over the sides of the cake. If the frosting becomes granular, add a few drops of boiling water.
