Top 10 Easy Icing Recipes
Sponges may be the body of a cake but the icing is its face – the first impression, which makes everybody eager to taste the treat! It adds not just colour and visual appeal but also more taste to the sponge. Undoubtedly, they are loved by kids and adults alike.
Icings are made with a base of sugar and butter or eggs, flavoured in different ways. Icings can be made with or without eggs. There are chocolaty icings, plain buttery ones, lemony ones and those with other flavours. Indeed, there is a huge variety to choose from.
Sometimes, the icing may be the same flavour as the cake, but most of the times people choose a contrast in order to make it more appealing and bring in more balance. For example, a chocolate sponge with strawberry icing, a vanilla cake with Orange Butter Icing, or a pineapple cake with Vanilla Butter Icing will surely appeal to everybody. Sometimes, you can opt to use more than one icing on a cake. For example, Chocolate Butter Icing on the sides and a fruit icing on top!
Applying icing on a cake is a work of art. It needs a bit of practice and deft handwork because icings will harden over time and must be used immediately after preparation. So, it is important to decide on the pattern and other things before beginning to work on the icing. Really, icings manifest your creativity, so unleash your imagination and get ready to surprise everybody with a very attractively decorated cake!
Happy Cooking!
