i haven't tried this yet but i'm allergic to almonds - can almond extracted be substitued with vanilla extra? - 19 Sep 2013
Don't know what I am doing wrong but didn't work for me; too runny & sponge cake left sitting in pool of icing because it ran off the cake. Tasted good though. - 21 Sep 2014
Really easy to make and delicious. To make the icing thicker and less runny, just use a little less water and add more chopped chocolate - 16 Jun 2015
