Actually it depends if you want to put the icing in the middle - I tend to use double but it is a good base recipe because you can just adjust the quantities to suit your tastes but keep the ratios the same - good luck x

I'm guessing this makes enough icing for a 7 inch cake?

I made this recipe with caster sugar and I advice everybody against doing that. As Myrna Young wrote it is very important to use Icing Sugar!
