Time 10m

Yield Serves 10-12; enough to cover 1 x 20cm round cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 egg whites
600g icing sugar
1 tsp liquid glucose
1 tsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg whites until lightly whipped. Add the icing sugar a few tbsps at a time, whisking continuously until all incorporated. Add the glucose and lemon juice.
  • Continue whisking until the icing is thick enough to hold stiff peaks when you lift the beaters and is smooth and shiny.
  • Use a palette knife to spread the icing over the top and sides of your marzipaned cake. For a snowy effect, make little dips and peaks with a teaspoon. Leave to firm up somewhere cool and dry (not the fridge) for 24 hrs before cutting the cake.
