Icing Recipe

Cake icing or cake frosting can be the crowning glory for any cake. In fact it has long been declared that the quality of your icing can make or break the cake. For this reason it is important to get your cake icing right. There are so many different icing recipes to choose from and picking the right one depends on the type of cake you have in mind and then select your icing recipe to suit the occasion and flavour of your cake.

Light icing recipes such as a cream cheese icing will put the finishing touches onto a carrot cake and can be made using good-quality cream cheese combined with icing sugar and a drop of vanilla essence. Both buttercream and chocolate frosting are perfect for icing your cup cakes; add a splash of food colouring for decorative effect.

For a truly decadent cake, a thick royal icing or a Chocolate Ganache Icing gives a glamorous finish and is heavy enough to carry off the more intricate cake decoration. An easy royal icing can be achieved using whisked egg whites, icing sugar and lemon juice. It should set to create a smooth solid finish and is ideal for a snow-white Christmas or Wedding cake.
