Christmas Cake Icing
Assuming you like Christmas Cake what is your preferred icing.Royal Icing or Soft/Fondant/Regal Icing?
Top and sides or top only?
The reason I ask is that I'm having a cake made by a friend's daughter who has a small baking business.She says that 99% go for soft icing which I understand is the stuff you roll out and drape over - like you get on supermarket celebration cakes.
Now I'm not a fan of icing anyway but not at all keen on the rolled out soft icing - I usually peel it off my slice of cake and throw it away.
I know you could say that I have answered my own question and should just go for just the top with royal icing, but I feel a little self-concious that apparently I am one of the weird 1% that would prefer that over soft icing.
Cheers,
Nigel My 2p - we always have Royal Icing.It sets super hard which I like but I'm sure others don't.
One of the things about hard icing is that a rich fruit Christmas cake will last for ages. I'm with you on that one Nigel data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Edit: Royal Icing, top and sides I own a bakery and most go for fondant, I much prefer royal but my fav is chocolate log fruit cake, rolled in marzipan then dunked in chocolate sell loads of those data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
