This is a good wedding cake icing. While frosting cake, keep bowl covered with a damp cloth to prevent excessive evaporation. Makes enough to frost one 3 tiered wedding cake, and to decorate with garlands and flowers.

Way too thin and runny! I even chilled the mixture for a few hours and rebeat it before using and it slid right off the cake. DO NOT USE THIS Read More
