this icing was great, i just had to add a little bit of hot water to have it how i like my icing - smooth. i would use this icing again though.
Hello, Is it compulsory to use an electric beater when you are mixing up the ingredients?
CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, you can use a wooden spoon or spatula, but it will take quite a lot longer to get the correct consistency!
for me its not becoming very liquidy? i dont know if its just me but ive already beat it for 5 mins and its still quite solid
Does anyone one know how many cupcakes you can make with this recipe??? Its such a great recipe but last time I had the wrong amount.
CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, it depends on how much icing you like on each cupcake, but it should make enough for about 12 cupcakes.
I have to cook something for my assessment in cooking and this icing was amazing and perfect so recommended
I thought it was great! And it's soooo easy and quick to make.
Hardly any ingredients, and the three that are needed are held in most houses.
You can even add food colouring and adjust the recipe without a hassle!
Goes well with all cupcakes, cakes and sweet treats!
I think it was really easy to make and so delicious, I took it in for my class, and they all loved it
