sassa · 2010-08-23 14:12:37

Have tried my mothers recipe for butter icing but it doesnt work out right, always seems to separate when it comes to decorating the cake. :( could anyone recommend a better icing (for cake decorating) or recipe for butter icing instead?. thanks in advance for any replies :)

Hi I usually use equal quantities of very soft butter and icing sugar and whip til it goes almost white. For an amazingly yum butter icing I sometimes add an equal quantity of melted white or dark chocolate after the almost white stage. HOpe this helps. I've seen other recipes which use double the quantity of icing sugar to butter.
