Does anybody know another type of icing that thick and has a hard glossy surface i can use so i dont have to use fondant, a simple recipe??
im trying to get away without using it.

You can use Royal Icing...it is hard and glossy but will probably crack when you cut it...

I will find you a recipe

ETA:
Royal Icing

Ingerdients
4 cups icing sugar
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
5 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Combine ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed, stopping to scrape down the bowl, until glossy and stiff, about 5 minutes.

(If not using immediately, place a piece of waxed paper on the surface, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. Stir before using.)

You really want to use this straight away. Avoid storing it if you can.
This is fabulous for piping too - so writing on the cake or decorating it.


*****Keep in mind that this is made from RAW egg, so don't ge giving it to preggy women
