Even a beginning hostess can cook icing from sour cream. You do not need to have special culinary skills.
Recipes for this decoration a lot. Frosting is prepared on the basis of cream, sour cream, milk and even water. To flavor it add vanilla or citrus juice. The recipe is chosen depending on the result that they want to get. So, the icing on the water will have a soft matte shade. The coating will gain shine if you add butter to the composition.
Glaze can be prepared in different colors by adding cocoa or a natural dye.
