Very pretty cake, definitely storing this image.

Interesting idea thanks xx

Bit concerned about the raw egg content

so its all about the egg whites, makes sense its how you get glossy home made paint.

Interesting indeed. Never tried it with egg whites. Look forward to giving it a go.

Love the glossy look. Always looking for decorating ideas.

looks amazing!

i will definately keep this recipe as a reference tool. i have just had to go and buy a cake for a birthday, but i would love to try this idea thanks so much for posting.

Like the pirate icing too 🙂

Looks really nice and glossy! 🙂

Thank you, this sort of “extra” is always handy.

Looks amazing – thank you!

Love the pirate cake. Glad I found this – giving the icing a gloss would definitely improve the results of my cake making efforts!

Yum! Can this icing be made and placed in the fridge to use the following morning?

  It can be. I decorated the cake the night before as I made the cake for my son’s second birthday and we took it to Kindy.

Thanks again for sharing; made this icing and it looked glossy and gorgeous!

The children would love this treat

I found using a butter knife easier to use than a spatcular. Plus, it doesn’t affect the taste of the icing.

Great pirate cake by the way!

Great cake!!

Thanks for sharing this recipe
