In Reply to: Frosting recipe posted by Barbara on August 20, 19100 at 06:30:23 :
: I recently was helping another caterer at a wedding out of town and in tasting the wedding cake relized it was frosting I wasn't familiar with. It had an extremly light texture and butter flavor but held up well in the heat. The appearance was very pleasing, it was as smooth as fondant, I couldn't find any spatula marks and the borders and decorations had a very nice crisp apperance. Since then I have gone through all my books and questioned other cake bakers and tried the recipies they suggested and still haven't achived the desired result. Could anyone help or suggest a source? Thanks so much Barbara
I looked in several professional baking books and haven't come up w/ anything that resembles your description.....I thought it could be a "rolled fondant" icing, but this is generally thick & heavy, not light, but extremely smooth surface....why don't you call the wedding cake maker (you are a bride looking for a cake specialist - I would do it) and ask for the name of the icing & I'll try to find a recipe or source, I have about 700 different cookbooks & professional reference books, I would be happy to try to find the recipe for you.........good luck...hope this helps
