HOW TO GLAZE A CAKE
For a chic finish for your cake, try this glazing technique.
1 and 2/3 cups (250 g) pure icing sugar, sifted
Warm water
Set the cake on a wire rack over baking paper.
Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add enough warm water to make a smooth dropping consistency. Set aside.
Make sure cake is completely cool, then pour the glaze in a steady stream in the centre of the cake letting some drip down the sides.
Use a palette knife to push the glaze over the sides if needed.
After the glaze firms slightly, transfer the cake to a serving plate using a large palette knife.
