Topic: Help with chocolate icing please


grandma69    -- 05-07-2007 @ 3:01 AM
  I am from the UK, and am making what my recipe book calls an American Wedding Cake, which is flourless and uses ground almonds.  The problem is that it is iced in a dark chocolate with unsalted butter icing, but I would like to keep the icing shiny, and I know that if often goes very dull looking.  Any tips to keep it shiny please?
