Cream Chocolate Icing

Ingredients

• half cocoa

Directions

1. What is known as cream chocolate icing is done in the same man- ner, using half cocoa and half pure cream, and sweetening it to taste. In this case use no whites of eggs, but simply dissolve the cocoa as before described, then add the sugar, and afterwards grad- ually add and well stir in the cream. It is then ready for use. Chocolate icing is also used to ice jelly cakes and other small cakes, also chocolate -de-clares ; it may also be used as an icing for any thing, and can be piped, ornamented, or decorated with icing sugar in the same manner as a bride's cake.

2. Cocoa may also be mixed with sugar icing ; add little or much cocoa as desired, and either ice a cake with this chocolate icing or use it for piping or ornamenting in the same manner as icing sugar }s used.
