I am making a PINK cake and if you help me I'll tell you why!

[TrillianAstra]

Tell me about icing/frosting/sugary stuff that goes on top of cake.

How can I make some that is tall and fluffy, or the kind that goes on fluffy but then dries so it doesn't go everywhere, or some other kind that looks pretty and tastes nice?

Describe your best icing/frosting stuff and how to make it.

It'll be worth it, I promise. :o

Please?

hard to advise if i don't know more about your cake tbh
however tall and fluffy icing a la mr whippy style reminds me of nigellas love buns from feast
maybe you could colour this icing
imo it is horrifically sweet but the dcs love it!
if you can't find it will post you the recipe

Love buns here

That does sound ridiculously sweet.

Thank you for ysing the phrase 'Nigella's love buns' though, it has made me :o

Here is your reward

yeah i didtoo when i was typing it

I would use cream cheese and mascapone in 100% to 50% mascapone and add flavour such as pink and sweety stuff sorry brain disfunctioning

I'm really sorry I can't help with the icing but your blog made me practically wet myself with laughter! I love pictures too.
I read it thinking of melting marshmallows. I doubt that helps sorry! I have show DP that post. He thought he liked cake. He needs to be shown

Glad you liked it :)

Can you use buttercream and use a large piping tube to pipe in swirls? it will look fluffy but dry firmish so it will be quite stable onces its sat a while...

American frosting would be good uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/607382

Trillian, I just read your blog. You are very, very funny and I LOVE the pictures!!!

V V Funny!

excellent blog soooo funny
love the pictures to

It's not my blog, I should make this very clear. It's the blog of some mad hyperactive American girl :o

Someone on here once suggested buttercream mixed with crushed rasberies to take the icky sweetness away...sounds nice to me! Buttercream is easy to make and easy to pipe or spread...if you want it all fluffy just ob it on with a spoon and use a knife to "arrange" it in peaks.

Or they sell topping like that in big pots in Morrisons if you have one. It's a bit over sweet but it's sy to spread.
