Wedding Cake Frosting Recipe
Ice your own cake!

Our wedding cake frosting recipe makes it easy to ice your own cake.

Ingredients: (Vanilla Icing)

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3 cups icing sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Frosting

1 Put all ingredients into a bowl and beat well.

2 Check consistency of the vanilla frosting. It should be smooth and easy to spread. If not, add more icing sugar.

The above recipe is a simple way to make vanilla icing as it does not have any eggs.

For a richer and slightly more difficult fondant topping, try this recipe.

• 3 egg whites
• 1 pound icing sugar
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

How to Make Icing

1 Make sure all utensils are free from grease.

2 Lightly beat the egg whites.

3 Sift together icing sugar and cream of tartar.

4 Place everything in a food processor and beat for around 7 minutes until the icing forms soft peaks.

Tip: Practice your icing technique on a simple round cake first or even some small cupcakes. That way, you will get the feel for how icing is smoothed on and also how quickly it can dry out if not kept moist!

There are, of course, many other recipes for icing or fondant to top your wedding cake, but these are the easiest and most consistent recipes we have tried and tested on our own cakes to date.
