Hi Spice, I’m trying hard to recollect the taste and texture. I think it was smooth enough. I’m sorry that I don’t remember it exactly. All I know is it tasted good, the consistency was perfect. Also I used lesser sugar than mentioned in the original recipe. I used 3 cups of sugar instead of 4 cups.

One more question, we are supposed to take a baked cake covered with icing to the class. Do you have a suggestion for the icing? my classmates were suggesting to buy one ...have never decorated the cake before, have no idea how it works.
