icing. Cream cheese icing traditionally decorates carrot cakes and cupcakes. It can be smoothed to a
relatively even finish, or fluffed up for a more casual cake.

Cream cheese icing

30 g butter, softened
80 g cream cheese, softened
1½ cups (240 g) icing sugar, sifted

Beat butter and cheese in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and airy. Gradually beat in
sifted icing sugar until the icing is fluffy.

Royal icing

Often confused with fondant, royal icing is a white meringue-like mixture made from egg whites and
icing sugar. Royal icing is easily made at home, and has multiple uses. Becoming rock-hard once set,
it is ideal for attaching decorations to cakes and is a popular icing for piping.

Royal icing
1½ cups pure icing sugar, sifted
1 egg white
Flavour

Lightly beat egg white in a small bowl. Add icing sugar one tablespoonful at a time, beating well after
each addition. When icing reaches the desired consistency, add flavour of your choice well.
