This is very good but is much more like a glaze than a frosting as mentioned in the previous review. Very easy to make. I used this to go with recipe #235204 and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing. -
This was made for PAC Spring 2009. A very nice icing (more like a glaze) with just the right amount of tang and sweet. I will make it again - had it on Recipe #159169, and it was very good. Thanks for a very nice recipe.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm 28, married and I have a very time-consuming job as ground staff at the U.K's largest airport outside London.
I Love to bake, ever since I was a little nipper. I used to help (or should i say make a mess) my nan at every opportunity.
The good thing now is I get try out any new recipes on my husband!!
Whether it be sweets or savouries I'll give it a go. I like collecting the magazines from the supermarket as they always hide a treasure of recipe somewhere.
Recently, I have been doing some baking with a friend of mine round her house and were doing something right if 6 children wonder when I'm going to visit!
