The strawberry icing is my absolute favorite.<br />- BekiBekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555048261270164243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473301910036743717.post-59116750616752287782012-10-01T22:50:30.085-05:002012-10-01T22:50:30.085-05:00I made this for my boyfriends birthday.

Just be prepared for it to take longer, since the motor on a stand mixer is so much more powerful.<br />Let me know if you do try it!!<br />- BekiBekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555048261270164243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473301910036743717.post-41572100870635771152012-09-24T18:09:41.360-05:002012-09-24T18:09:41.360-05:00Can I just use a regular mixer or do I need one wi...Can I just use a regular mixer or do I need one with a paddle?

You can't really go by "look" because they look the same for about the last 20-30 degrees, I'd say.<br />Now, I have read on other SMBC recipes that you heat it until the sugar is fully dissolved, that you don't feel the sugar crystals if you touch it... but I don't think that's necessarily the food-safe way to go. (You can usually get a candy thermometer for like $5 at the grocery store.)<br /><br />If you want to add flavor, add it when you add the butter.<br /><br />For coloring, you would color it as you would any icing. I usually color out of the mixer, in smaller bowls, using a spatula to stir it.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br />- BekiBekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555048261270164243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473301910036743717.post-87500657204210903152012-07-21T02:58:04.389-05:002012-07-21T02:58:04.389-05:00Hello, I am wondering if this will work with out a...Hello, I am wondering if this will work with out a candy thermometer, and when and if I was to add colour and/or flavour when should I do so please.<br /><br />Sorry i posted anonymously I didnt have any of the accounts needed to postAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473301910036743717.post-67057663904712836332012-02-02T21:39:00.045-06:002012-02-02T21:39:00.045-06:00Ok now I want to eat a bowl of this!
