Title: Birthday cake help please!
Post by: AmandaN on December 17, 2010, 02:50:50 am

I am about to make a Bimby chocolate cake for my son's 3rd birthday tomorrow.  I have one of those edible cake topper pictures, but what sort of icing do you use for them????

I am pretty sure they will sit ok on any type of icing. I have used them ontop of fondant, royal icing and buttercream. To make a buttercream, i just beat up the butter and pure icing sugar until the mixture is thickened to my liking. Generally i think the rule is about double the weight of icing sugar to butter, but dont quote me on that, as I just keep adding. Then you can add whatever flavouring you want to it and colours.

Butter cream will be fine Amanda.
