The Icing on The Cake Spain

One of our best clients recently place a huge order for a party. She wanted something special for her daughters 21st birthday party and when she saw our chocolate toppers she knew she had found it.

We made lovely white chocolate toppers with a birthday message printed in edible ink for her daughters party. She wanted these to put onto lollipops and cookies to give to her guest in their party bags!

The chocolate toppers look great and taste divine.

To Make

Beat the butter, sugar, eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, cocoapowder, and vanilla with electric beaters for about 8-10 mins until themixture is pale and well combined.

Pour into tin and bake for 40-45 mins or until a skewer poked in the middle comes out clean.

Leave to cool in the tin for 10-15 mins before transferring to a wire rack.

Ice with chocolate icing only when completely cool!

For the icing:

Sift together the icing sugar and cocoa.  Add the butter and 3-4tbsps of warm water and beat until smooth and fluffy, adding more water if necessary.

Decorating is up to you! You can leave it as it is or add sweetssuch as smarties or M&Ms for a kids party. Try our cake toppers ? they are edible images printed on a thin sheet of icing. All totally edible, printed with edible ink too. You can choose any image or a favourite photo or film star! Whatever you want.

Use the premade rolling icing and colour it yourself. Girlie pink always goes down well at a little girls party! Just omit the chocolate icing on the top and smear with apricot jam. Lift icing over your cake with the aid of a rolling pin. Smooth down and pop your cake topper ontop. Looks amazing!

For the boys avoid the pink and go for blue or green! Add their favourite cartoon character and ice around the edges with coloured buttercream icing.

Whichever you choose, just make sure your get in there quick as this cake does not stay around for long! Yummy!
