- Combine first three ingredients in a bowl and mix well, until glossy and smooth. Choose one of the flavour options and add to the mix. Mix till the icing is glossy and spreadable, not too thick and not too runny it drips off the cakes. If your icing is too thick, add more liquid; if it is too thin, add more icing sugar.
- Ice your cakes using a knife. If you are decorating after spreading the icing, do so before the icing sets entirely.
