We have different types of icing like fundant icing, butter icing and loyal icing but I prefer Butter icing because its very easy to make and its easy to apply.
How to ice your cake
Add the butter(add the butter gradually because if you add it once it will be difficult to stir) and the icing into a bowl and stir it well untill it produces a foamy like paste. Add two spoons of vanilla extract, milk and stir properly. Trim down the cake into the desired shape you want it to be. I want my cake to be in shoe like shape so I have to trim it to that shape.
Apply the icing gradually and carefully round the cake so as to make your cake neat and presentable.
Use any type of colour you want and mix it with the icing. Apply the colours to different parts you want your cake to be. Then Refrigerate....Your cake is ready.. Yummy!!!!
