I had it on the stove for approx 20 minutes and it was pretty thick...then transferred it and beat it until cool...which literally took forever ;) it was super thin and when I added the butter it really didn't thicken much. The flavor was amazing...so wondering if you could give me some tips...maybe you let it boil longer? What was the thickness comparable to when you took it off the stove? I'm a great baker and very rarely have anything that doesn't work out...so, I'm quite perplexed by this and really want to get it to work.

I've gone...Hi Susy, I'm sorry to hear that. I've gone over the recipe again but those are the correct ingredients and measurements for the icing. The recipe is from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking with only a few minor changes -- I think the problem you encountered may have happened while cooking the milk and cream in the double-boiler. If the mixture hasn't thickened enough before removing from heat, the icing will be too runny, which might explain why adding extra sugar didn't help much. When I made the icing it was light and silky but not runny, and I didn't need to add any extra ingredients or to refrigerate at all. I kept the frosted cake at room temperature for a few days until it was finished. I don't know for sure what went wrong, but I hope this still helps somewhat!Nicolehttp://www.bakemeblush.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122321671348453480.post-91631465365453721862014-07-05T15:02:54.869-07:002014-07-05T15:02:54.869-07:00Made this according to the recipe.

I even added 2 lbs. of powdered sugar and the icing still oozed off of the cake. I had to keep it refrigerated in order to cut and serve it.

I live in Canada and the butter I use is much more white than it is yellow, so it would make sense if your cake turned out more yellow in colour for that reason. I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you, but I hope this helped. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed the cake! :)Nicolehttp://www.bakemeblush.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122321671348453480.post-14407598951734545852012-03-17T02:19:14.423-07:002012-03-17T02:19:14.423-07:00This gorgeous cake is cooling on my windowsill as ...This gorgeous cake is cooling on my windowsill as we speak... I'm a little perplexed though. It's yellow! And my frosting too! Could it be the butter? I'm in New Zealand and our butter is a very definite shade of yellow, as are the fresh eggs I use. Do you think this could be the source of the colour? <br /><br />I really can't wait to eat it...no really, I've already picked little browned pieces off the top.... :)Staceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122321671348453480.post-873228703289887562011-11-02T13:13:18.812-07:002011-11-02T13:13:18.812-07:00Hi Nicole, Your The
