I've been using this recipe for a while now on cupcakes and b'day cakes and just got asked for the recipe by another thermie friend. Can't take the credit, it was from an overseas blog which I wish I had made note of. Very yummy and 'cooperative', give it a go!
Devilish Chocolate Icing:
60g chocolate
120g butter
80g cream
100g icing sugar
1. Melt cream and chocolate together in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate melts (could be done in thermie but then there is more waiting...and washing up!!).
2. Meanwhile, turn raw sugar into icing sugar, 10 sec on speed 9.
3. Insert butterfly. Add butter and mix for 2 mins on speed 3.
4. Add cooled chocolate sauce and mix for 1 min on speed 3.
5. Slather in onto a cake or put it into a piping bag, let it cool for another 30 mins and spiral it onto cupcakes.

nix - Fantastic icing recipe - not sickly sweet so you can layer it on thick. Would be delicious as a chocolate filling in a sandwich cake too.
