This is the best icing that I have ever made. Granted, I am only 16, so there's a lot of room for improvement. However, i did find that it was essential to make sure that all the sugar was dissolved before it was brought to the boil. I used butter instead of shortening because I didn't have any, and rum essence instead of vanilla. I also didn't have chocolate powder so i used 70g of chocolate chips. It was amazing. i had a whole lot left and my sisters ate it all.
