Here's how to make smoothly textured butter cream icing: You will need the following ingredients – four eggs, half a cup sugar, half a cup corn syrup, two and a half cubed sticks of butter.

Whip eggs in a bowl until they become fluffy. Boil sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan, and add it slowly to the eggs. Add the butter, a small amount at a time. Whip the mixture until it attains a creamy consistency. Coat the cake with a small quantity of this frosting. Let the cake remain untouched for at least half an hour, until the frosting dries. Then apply most of the remaining icing in an even manner all over and on the sides of the cake. Keep applying until you reach the wanted level of icing. Slice the cake into pieces and serve.

Had to give you mega stars on this recipe (if there were 6, you woulda got 'em) sounds "sinfully" good! Like the application technique too, but have a question: assuming the ingredients fluff up to some degree, about how much does this recipe make? Is there anything left over after a couple layers that could be used for decorating/writing on the cake? Or would I need to double? Also, will it hold the consistancy if I add some food coloring or flavoring? Thanks for sharing, can't wait to try it!
