The Icing Goes Soft
Dear Aunt Daisy, , In reply to the query you had about icing on a cake going wet, I used to heve this bother on occasions, but now I find this method absolutely fooiproof. Mix the icing in the usual way to a thick paste in. a small saucepan, then warm over a low heat. Pour the warmed icing over the cake, quickly, as it will set almost immediately, and it will remain firm. This is particularly good with chocolate icing, .as it makes a simple chocolate icing taste like fudge. Another reason for an icing going wet is that the cake is put away in a tin too quickly, and the icing hasn’t had time to set, Leaving the lid of the tin open overnight will give the icing time to set right through. Hoping these hints will help the lady in question. yours
sincerely,
Biddy
