| I did not add lemon, just the vanilla |
 |
| Pot of simmering water, egg white and sugar in the steel bowl. Stir constantly, no taking a break! |
 |
| Beat until double the volume (meringue), I put stars beside the 6 minutes in the directions |
 |
| Room temperature butter; cut in small pieces so it blends in faster and smoother. |
 |
| It comes together very quickly! |
 |
| Thick and smooth, spreads easily. |
 |
| I was disappointed with the colour and the dense texture. |
 |
| Flip the cake upside down, cut the rounded top off first if necessary. |
 |
| I made a 1/2 cake...4 people. The icing was so rich we had a small piece each. |
 |
| I like to put lots of icing on top, then push it over the sides. I find it easier. Most instructions say sides first, then top. |
 |
| I used a huge star decorating nib (the icing is very thick). |
 |
| maybe too much icing...... |
 |
| The vertical line was from a bamboo skewer (I drove the cake to Burnaby and I wanted to stabilize the layers) |
