The Icing on the Cake!!!

I couldn't just make a cake for James! I had to ice it too! What is a birthday cake without chocolage fudge icing.
I found this amazing recipe and it is easy, and delicious!!!

1 stick butter (113g)
60g. cocoa
80ml milk
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla essence
Melt butter, add cocoa and boil for 1 minute.
Add remaining ingredients bit by bit and beat until smooth. Spread while warm.

I doubled the amount, sliced the cake in half and filled using the same icing.
Remember that when you are using hot liquids with icing sugar, it sets quicker than with cold fluid.

A little regular icing sugar, some hot water, and a piping bag, and this is what the end result was!!!


It was very well received by the 13 or so kids that were at the party (and a lot of the adults!!!)
Hope that you had a great day James!!!
