OT ? icing for cake's questions
I am thinking of making a cake.
I was going to make the cake from scratch, something I haven't done in ages and though it make a change. I was also going to make the icing from scratch. I was going to ice and decorate it but now I'm a little confused. I did do a Google search and have given up as I could spend many more hours reading all the sites it lists, I was thinking of cream cheese icing or buttercream icing. (but it seems there is a million choice's with a million ingredients or isn't chocolate enough.) (and which is cheaper to make ? not that cost really matters to me ) So. do you have a fail proof icing recipe that I could make a few days in advance and doesn't need the temperature taken whilst in the making stage ? Or do you know of something else that I can use as icing to mould onto or around a cake ? TIA Nic |

If it is too stiff after you re-whip it, add a couple tablespoons of light corn syrup to thin it down. > |
