Icing for Cake
Baking and Desserts • British
Description
Icing is used for decorating cakes, desserts, muffins, cupcakes, etc. This is a very tasty decoration. It gives the product an extraordinary elegant appearance. The only downside is that icing is very brittle, like crystal. You can create any designs you want: butterflies, leaves, swirls. Icing is often used to decorate wedding cakes. You can also tint icing with food coloring to achieve the color you need for decorating a dessert or cake. Icing dries on the cake in 15–20 minutes. If you want to make figures out of icing, they take two to three days to dry. Grease a sheet with vegetable oil. Squeeze the icing from a piping bag to create the design that will later decorate the product. Leave the design to dry. Then carefully peel it off the sheet and decorate.
