It is roughly equivalent to one rounded dessertspoon full.
Vegans can enjoy icing that is made without milk or eggs.
you would need basic math with ratios to figure how to evenly place the repetitive decorations pleasingly on the cake icing.. A cake decorator is just another form of an artist, they use colored icing instead of paint. Applying the repetitive decorations is usually starting at the points of a compass, and eyeballing it from there. The largest problem is keeping the icing colors mixed the same from batch to batch (ratio of icing to coloring).
in fact yes sometimes i take the icing off cupcakes tast real good without frosting or icing.
Yes.
Use toothpicks to keep the saran wrap from touching the cake icing.
Icing sugar is not normally measured by the ml, since mls are designed for liquids only. ( Measuring icing sugar by the mil is highly inadvisable due to the large potential for inaccuracies.) It would be best to find a weight measurement for icing sugar to convert to cups, if the measurement must be in cups.
While an icing spatula is often considered an extension of a professional baker's hand, it is not needed for every icing endeavor. If the cake or pastry is not going to be displayed for its artsitic properties, it is perfectly fine to use a regular butter knife or even a spoon to spread icing. It is important to remember that the icing will not be as smooth nor will either utensil prevent the cake from crumbling a bit during the icing of it.

The same place that they are taught grammar to delinquents. (joking, guys)
Not really; sugars other than powdered do not dissolve when used in a mixture that is not heated (such as icing). If the recipe already involves brown sugar, you can increase the quantity slightly without too many side-effects. However replacing powdered sugar (completely) with brown is likely to yield undesirable results; powdered sugar helps add 'smoothness' to icing, so without this you may end up with a very brown granular icing (that may not set adequately). If the recipe does not call for brown sugar at all, definitely do not add it.
Icings are colored with food coloring then applied to baked and cooled cupcakes. The food color from the icing does not ordinarily seep into the cake. If that is a problem, it is possible to apply white icing to cupcakes, then spray food coloring with an airbrush onto the surface of the icing, so it would not come into contact with the cake itself.
Because it makes it easier to spread the icing without getting crumbs from the cake mixed in.
