Does anyone have an icing recipe that doesn't crack? Or perhaps maybe some techniques to prevent the icing from cracking. Someone told me that boiled icing won't crack......anyone else agree? I've only made buttercream recipes. I've never ventured out with boiled icing. Thanks in advance.
I've never had icing crack, but I think it happens when it is too dry. Try adding a bit more liquid...HTH!

Icing can crack when there is play in your boards.... make sure they are VERY sturdy, no movement what so ever when you pick it up.

I agree. If I don't use a thick enough board (especially with sheet cakes), I sometimes will have cracking.
yes, make sure your icing is smooth and creamy like..... not thick and dry.... whatever icing recipe you use..... then make sure you double or triple your boards or cut you own using foam core boards..... they do wonderful under larger cakes .... plus when i move my cakes, i put one hand at the side of the board and the other arm and hand under the middle of the board... when the customer picks them up, i then tell them, to handle them the same way..... they usually appreciate this tip.....
