Just use:
300 g icing sugar
100 g unsalted butter
40 g cocoa powder
40 ml whole milk
(the hummingbird frosting recipe)
I don't think so, but it does need to be covered in some way to prevent the moisture from escaping and turning your cake into a rock.
To make vanilla frosting chocolate, you typically need to add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder for every 2 cups of frosting. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference and the desired chocolate intensity. Additionally, you may need to increase the sugar slightly to balance the bitterness of the cocoa.
Firstly you need these ingredients: Cake:6oz butter, 6oz sugar
A simple recipe for American buttercream (the kind you might find on a cake from a grocery store) is "411". That's: 4 lbs of powdered sugar 1 lb of butter 1 lb of shortening Obviously do a 1/4 batch if you don't need that much. "411" is just easy to remember. Then all you do is cream those together, maybe add some vanilla. You may have to add moisture if its really stiff, such as water, or even juice for a flavored buttercream. There are other buttercream formulas....french buttercream, Italian meringue buttercream....but these are for the more advanced.
You will need your favorite chocolate cake resipie, marshmellow frosting, marshmellows, and crushed gram crackers.
First you will need cake mix of any kind you choose. Second you will need the supplies that come in the directions of the cake mix. Third you will need to get a cookie sheet and mini cupcake wrappers and place them on the cookie sheet then you bake them. Fourth you will need frosting, in which you will need to melt some white chocolate or plain chocolate or just make so powdered sugar frosting and dip the petifores in it.Fifth, (optional) you can get some colored frosting and use it to make a design such as a small flower on the petifores in which they are already hardend. Finally you may enjoy!!!:)
Sponge cakes are generally dry and lacking in flavor. That said, after torting your layers you will need to moisten the cake with a flavored simple syrup, preferably using a flavor that compliments the filling. For example, coffee/espresso syrup for a chocolate genoise with a mocha or chocolate filling. If you're using a berry filling, flavor the simple syrup with liqueur or extract that compliments the berry. Personally, I will often times use a syrup lightly flavored with lemon peel. After moistening your layers you have two options: Let it soak for a day and add more (optimal flavor) or you may continue to decorate with buttercream or a frosting of your choice. For a smooth exterior, frost the sides with an even amount of buttercream then the top and, using even pressure and a sweeping motion, remove the lip of frosting around the edges. If the frosting isn't smooth, simply place the frosted cake in the ice box for about 20 minutes then, using a spatula dipped in hot water + wiped dry, lightly run the spatula around and over the cake to smooth the frosting.
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar is a basic ingredient to cream cheese frosting. Substitutions such as granulated table sugar, brown sugar or honey will not produce acceptable cream cheese frosting. In a pinch, it may be possible to process granulated white sugar in a blender or food processor until very fine. Then add a tablespoon of corn starch to each cup of very finely processed sugar to approximate powdered sugar.
Oreo balls are really easy to make and taste great. The ingredients are very simple. All you need is a pack of oreos, frosting or cream cheese, and chocolate. Crush all of your oreos until there are no big pieces left. mix some frosting or cream cheese into the bowl with crushed oreos and mix until it is fully mixed. put it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. melt some chocolate in the microwave or on a double-boiler. dip the Oreo balls into the chocolate and put in fridge. Then eat. You dont need to cover the balls in chocolate...it tastes fine either way and most recipes say you need cream cheese but i have tried frosting before and it tastes delicious both ways. :D
No, the frosting has lots of preservatives in it and doesn't need to be refrigerated.
Yes, you can use caster sugar to make buttercream icing. You will need to cream the butter and sugar until you get the correct texture.
Frosting comes in a variety of colors. If you need a specific color frosting, you can purchase white frosting and add food coloring to create the desired color. Follow the directions on the food coloring to ensure you create the desired color for the amount of frosting purchased.
