Cake icing white chocolate, 250 g

Cake icing is not only suitable for refining cakes and cupcakes, but can also be used to coat and decorate cookies, cupcakes, cake pops and even chocolate kisses or éclairs. Such a coating is made in no time, because the glaze only needs to be melted and it is ready for use. The treats can also be cooled without any problems, because the surface does not break. The light cake icing can be colored as desired with fat-soluble powder color. This is how you give all your treats the wonderful taste of white chocolate and a noble shine.

Cake icing - application

To begin, make a treat of your choice. This can be a classic cake, a cake or a cupcake, but you can of course also coat another treat. For example, if you want to give your éclairs a noble shine, create extraordinary chocolate kisses or make colorful glazes, the Magic Cake Melts, as they are also called, are perfect. Because they are so easy to use, the Cake Melts are also great for a children's birthday party, where the kids can decorate their own cake pops or cupcakes, for example.

Depending on the size of your treat, add a few cake icing drops to a bowl. It's better to use a little too much than too little, because the excess cake icing can simply be cooled and re-melted later. Then place the bowl over a water bath or in the microwave. Let it run for a few seconds at a time and then stir again a bit. Also over the water bath should be stirred slightly from time to time, so that the heat is distributed optimally.

If only a few small pieces are still visible, remove the bowl from the water bath or microwave and continue stirring until everything has dissolved. Now you can mix a very small amount of cake glaze with fat-soluble powder color to your liking, this will prevent lumps from forming. Then add the intensely colored part to the rest of the icing and stir until the color is evenly distributed. The easiest way to frost a cake, bundt cake, or cupcake is to place it on a baking sheet with a wire rack and pour the frosting over it. This way it drips off nicely and the set glaze on the baking paper can be crumbled and reused.

Cake pops, guetzli, cupcakes, ice cream on a stick and eclairs can be dipped completely or halfway into the cake glaze and dripped off a little or skimmed around the edges. To do this, ice cream must be well frozen, the icing should not be too warm and you should always work quickly. It looks especially great if you create a two-tone decoration. To do this, take a cornet paper, roll it up and add a second color of icing. Alternatively, you can also use a piping bag. So now thin stripes or small dots and patterns are sprayed on.

On the fresh cake icing you can also stick other things, for example, give some sugar beads, fondant decorations, gummy bears or Smarties on it. For a child's birthday cake, you can also put play figures on it to create a small motif cake. For a particularly noble cake edge, a Cake Lace ribbon can be attached to the cake icing, and if you want it to be crunchy, some almond or hazelnut brittle is suitable. After a short time, the cake icing will set, become solid and shine beautifully. It's so easy to enhance your treats!
