Homemade Pourable Icing Recipes

QUICK POUR FONDANT ICING

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine confectioners' sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a temperature of 92 degrees F (33 degrees C.) Mixture should be thin enough to pour, but thick enough to coat cake. Stir in the almond extract.
• To cover cake: frost cake smoothly with buttercream (see Editor's Note) and place on a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath. Pour fondant over iced cake, flowing from center and moving out in a circular motion. Touch up sides with a spatula.
• Excess fondant can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for about four weeks. Reheat over a double boiler just until pourable.

EASY POURED FONDANT ICING RECIPE

Steps:

• Place confectioners' sugar, water, and corn syrup in a small saucepan and stir until well mixed. Set over low heat and stir until dissolved. Don't let the temperature exceed 100 F on a candy thermometer. If glaze doesn't look opaque enough, add more confectioners' sugar.
• Pour warm fondant over item to be glazed (which has been set on a cooling rack over a sheet pan), tiling the item until all sides have been coated.
• Scrape any fondant that has dripped onto the sheet pan. Rewarm, strain and save to be used again.

HOMEMADE POURABLE ICING

Steps:

• In a large bowl or stand mixer, stir butter well until very light and fluffy. A stand mixer works best.
• Add in powdered sugar, stir until combined.
• Add vanilla or lemon extract.
• Slowly add in milk, one tablespoon at a time. Mix well as you add milk. If butter separates, slow your milk additions and be sure to increase stirring inbetween additions.
• Stir after each addition of milk to see if it has reached a consistency that will pour. It will look thick, but a little runny.
• Slowly drizzle over cake in a circular motion, making sure it evenly coats all sides. Use an offset spatula or butter knife to smooth out any lumps or uneven areas.
• Pop cake in fridge and let set for 5-10 minutes.
• Repeat icing drizzle step for a thicker more fondant like coat, then return to fridge. Repeat as needed.
• If adding sprinkles or decorations, add them before setting, or they will not stick well.
• If icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If too thick, more milk.
