Vanilla Butter Icing
by Tarla Dalal
An aesthetic flavour that is loved by all, vanilla imparts a lovely aroma as well. No wonder, the Vanilla Butter Icing is so popularly used all over the world in the decoration of cakes and pastries. Its off-white colour also contrasts well with the colour of all-time favourite cakes like blackcurrant and chocolate, making it so suitable for the creation of culinary masterpieces! Use the icing as soon as it is prepared, before it hardens, and use a damp palette knife to spread it, so as to get a smooth finish.
