Frosting tips:
- You want to ensure the right consistency for the batter for perfect frosting.
- If it’s too runny, it will probably just mess up the entire dessert.
- If its too thick it will harden or look bad.
How to test right frosting?
Try doing an anti gravity test with the frosting. Hold the bowl upside down and see if it falls off or stays put. If it doesn’t fall off, we definitely have solved the runny issue.
Now ensure you run your spoon through it to check if it’s easy enough to manoeuvre. If this works, then the batter’s perfect.
How to fix frosting?
If it is too runny, try adding some sugar.
If it is too thick, try adding some milk.
Ensure that you add few drops at a time to avoid to and fro.
Ensure that your frosting is thick.
