Morning guys!

I have my first paid cake!!!! I am doing a Supergirl sheet cake for a birthday party. I am also doing star shaped mini cakes. Does anyone know of a pourable colored icing to help me quickly cover the mini cakes since I have 25 of them to do. I want to do them white, light pink and dark pink and sure don't want to stand there and ice each one. Hoping I can just pour colored icing like a ganache.???
TIA
Machel

you could do them in a ganache - starting with white choc base... make it a little runnier than u might normally and that will pour nicely...

If you are looking for REALLY easy you can use the tubbed frosting from the store and then heat it up...30 seconds at a time till you get a ganache kind of consistency and pour it over. The frosting is sweet but, it works! Makes them look like petit fours.

(I like ganache myself but, I tried this once!)

This is a really good tip!

I found this recipe on sugarcraft.com. I used this recipe to cover petit fours before and was pleased with the outcome.

Mix 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of light corn syrup in a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Stir in about 3 lbs of powdered sugar and whatever flavoring you want to use. My most popular one is lemon. Microwave for 2 minutes, stir and microwave for another minute. It will be much warmer than most other recipes for poured fondant.

Do you have to ice or glaze your cake before you pour this? I thought that for ganache, you had to ice first so the poured frosting will stick. Can you just pour without icing or glazing first

When I tried this recipe, I baked a sheet cake then I iced the top and cut into squares and froze them. Then I took a few out at a time and placed them on a cooling rack with a pan under the rack and poured icing over the squares. You can reuse the icing that falls in the pan.
