Me vs. Icing

Icing: 2 - Me: 1

SCORE!

You all may remember the story about my adventure with the Raspberry Buttercream. basically it turned out to be a runny, nasty, hopeless mess (until I added a bunch of flour). Well, the other night Ryan wanted something sweet. I wanted to make something sweet. So I made something sweet.

I decided to make a cake. I bust out my recipe book and whip up a pretty basic yellow cake mix and threw it in the oven. Then I realized - we didn't have icing. Shoot.

I didn't want to go through the trial and error of how-much-flour-is-the-right-amount-of-flour, so I almost just didn't finish the cake. Then I decided I'd give it a whirl again.

In the same book that I got the cake recipe, I found a chocolate frosting recipe. I fortunately had all the ingredients, so I gave it a whirl. I started adding some ingredients and it looked like it was going down the same runny path, but some how it all came together and turned out pretty yummy (and thick enough to actually stay on the cake).

So! Here's to me winning one in the battle for amazing icing/frosting/buttercream.
