How do you use soft icing mixture?

1. Prepare the Icing:

- Make sure the soft icing mixture is at room temperature.

- If the icing is too thick, add a little bit of water or milk to thin it out. Mix until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.

2. Prepare the Surface:

- Ensure that the cake or treat you're frosting is completely cooled.

- If you're frosting a tiered cake, place cardboard rounds under each layer to prevent the cake from sticking to the serving platter.

3. Frosting:

- Start with crumb coating: Apply a thin layer of icing to the cake or treat. This will help seal in any crumbs and create a smooth base for the final frosting.

- Let the crumb coat set for a few minutes before proceeding with the next layer.

- Apply the main layer of frosting. Use a piping bag or a spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the crumb coat.

- You can create different designs and textures with the icing by using various piping tips or spreading techniques.

4. Decorating:

- Once the frosting is applied, you can add additional decorations such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, nuts, or candies.

- You can also use different colors of frosting to create patterns or designs.

5. Refrigeration:

- If desired, you can refrigerate the cake or treats with soft icing for a firmer consistency. Just make sure to let them come to room temperature before serving.

Remember to practice and experiment to develop your frosting skills and techniques. Happy frosting!
