Royal icing

It says here:

  • 4 egg whites and some lemon juice
  • 2lbs icing sugar
. Two pounds of sugar for a 9-inch cake? Even for two seven-inch cakes, that sounds like a lot. So there's only about a pound and a half on these.

A cake
with almond paste
and icing.

OK, OK. You want neat icing, hire a plasterer :-)
