When mixing this icing the secret is not to over beat (aerate) as too much beating will turn this icing into a frosting. The icing should be smooth and heavy with no air bubbles when you smooth with a palette knife, white and creamy as I use vegetable shortening instead of butter. It will take any colour now as the base is WHITE!!!!. You can also follow me at www.facebook.com/paul.mills.cakes
