Cake Decorating Ingredients
Reba Cohn is one of Philadelphia's first teachers of Cake Decorating to
spread the art to a wide audience, and she taught in our store in the early
1980's. Here are a couple of her most memorable icing recipes for your
enjoyment:
Reba's Buttercream Icing Recipe:
1 Lb white shortening, such as Crisco or Spry
2 Lbs sifted 10X sugar
1 teaspoon of flavor
About 5 tablespoons milk, more or less depending on desired consistency
To mix: cream shortening, add a couple heaping tablespoons sifted 10X sugar,
cream well; add one tablespoon milk, cream well; keep adding sugar and milk
until all is used, omit last of milk unless needed. If too thin add extra
sugar, if too stiff add more milk.
Always mix well. For icing cakes, use mixer at high speed after all
ingredients are incorporated. For flowers, must be hand mixed.
Keep covered with damp cloth until all icing is used.
Reba's Royal Icing Recipe:
Use ½ cup of Albumen Flakes (Dried Egg Whites). Mix with cold water to
make 8 oz., and soak overnight. Stir well and strain.
Beat at a high speed on your mixer until stiff. At slow speed, add about 3
Lbs. 10X sifted sugar, more or less for the job to be done. When all sugar
is incorporated, beat on a high speed for one minute, so not to over beat.
You don't want to beat too much air into icing, as this breaks down the
icing. Always keep this icing covered with a damp cloth. |
