Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Use a thicker icing for decorations on cake. This will help to
Ensure they will hold shape. I am going to use heavy whipping
Cream instead of milk for flavor.
The picture is an icing ready for coloring. It will need more
Sugar for piping but right now it has good enough consistency
For a crumb coat. Then it can be thickened for a firming frosting.
