	Hi, Grandkids and I baked a cake yesterday and now they want it filled and covered in butter icing. For the life of me I can't remember if it's just a dollop of butter mixed with icing sugar. Help!!!!! Aileen xx

	Hi, Thanks everyone. Looks nice. Will send you all a piece. Granddaughter seems to be enjoying it. There's more icing round her chops than on the cake. Aileen xx
