The best cakes will steal a glance or two from you. Icing and decorating are essential to making sure that your creations look as good as they taste. Here are some quick tips to help you in this task.
Chocolate Icing
Melt some chocolate, melt some butter, and you have a delicious icing for your cakes. Done right, this coating is good enough on its own. It's my personal practice that anytime a recipe has a flavouring option, I'll default to the one that uses rum, bourbon, cognac, or any other spirit. This recipe should be enough to coat a two-layer cake.
