ICING CAKES.
If using glace icing, all decorations must be ready beforehand and must* bo put on very gently directly the cake is iced and before tho icing hardens. Never touch tho top of a cako which has been iced with glace icing. If bare patches show on the sides of tho cako lift some of the icing which has run on to the dish or plate with a knife dipped in cold water, and smooth it quickly over tho patches. If royal icing is not used at onco cover it with wet muslin to prevent a crust forming on the top. When using it spread it over the cake with a palette knife and smooth with tho knife dipped in cold water. Do not decorate until the icing has set. A design may be pricked on a cake iced with royal icing. Royal icing, if not allowed to harden, nuiv bo beaten up and used again, so if practising " piping" on a plato tho icing need not bo wasted.
