Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I forgot to tell you all that I found a substitue for the egg whites in the icing for my cake class. I used 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum per recipe of icing. So if anyone wants the recipe for butter cream icing this is it: 1C. Crisco 1tsp, flavoring (vanilla, almond etc. or any mixture) 4Tbls water or milk (i use water because I don't know how soy milk will react) 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum 1lb confectionary sugar pinch of salt It tastes just like bakery icing. This recipe is for stiff consistency. If you want medium consistency add 1 -2 tsp of water. For thin consistency again add 1 - 1 1/2 tsp water to medium. Use the stiff for flowers, medium for decorations like stars or shells, and the thin for writing. I like to use something between medium and thin for icing the cake.
