This is SO easy to make. Sift icing sugar and add butter and milk and essence and blend - see I told you it was easy
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?
its so lovely.. best i've tryed so far!
Glad you liked it!!!
Tried this twice now, very quick and easy. The milk really makes a difference. Thanks.
I iced my husbands birthday cake with this - (Myrna's birthday cake recipe) and it was a real success - but I only had to use one and a bit tablespoons of milk to get the right consistency. Really tasty!!!!!!
