Tips

Play around with your own colour and flavour combinations using Robertsons Food Colouring and Essences.



Yellow + blue = green

Red + blue = purple

Yellow + red = orange



Use a toothpick and dip it in the colouring and then add to icing to prevent adding to much. Do this until you get the desired colour.



Use white margarine instead of butter for a whiter icing.



Margarine may be used instead of butter.



Use a zip lock or plastic bag as a piping bag. Snip the end off at an angle or in a v-shape.



*Alternatively, pour mixture into two 20 cm in diameter cake pans sprayed with Cook ‘n Bake Original or Butter Flavoured Non-stick Spray. Line the base with baking paper.
