I have someone who wants me to do a cake for her autistic son's bday. She's picked out a fairly simple design BUT she wants whipped icing. I have been passing on these orders because I haven't worked with it and last I had read on here there was some serious issues with making it stable enough to decorate with. I know it's a HUGE thing now with the grocery stores in my area and I have even found one that said they would sell me a tub of it for around $25 which of course is making this cake really more expensive then it's worth. I'd really LOVE to do this cake for her and her son but I don't know anything about using the icing. How do you smooth it? How does it color? She's looking for airbrushing and black & red too. Will an edible image stick to it? There is also borders and designs on the sides of the cake.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!
