The recipe for White Almond Sour Cream Cake that is on this site does not include an icing. What do most of you use as an icing for this cake?

Probably any icing wold fork well. I uses my basic buttercream and always add a touch of creme royal. Its is a very good cake.

I use almond-vanilla flavored buttercreme..it is wonderful.

Here's the expanded flavors version of the WASC cake recipe:

My DH's favorite is DH orange cake (with added orange extract) and Rich's Bettercreme frosting = creamsicle cake.

I'm also partial to the Brite White B/C:

and the Whipped Cream B/C:

I use a basic buttercream flavored w/vanilla and butter flavoring. It goes great w/ WASC!

What is creme royal? I've never seen or heard of it before CC.

Thanks everyone. I would also like to know what is creme royal?

I am so embarrassed at my poor spelling in the above post! I dont know what happened to me! Creme royal is very good. I put it in everything! It just has a sweet bakery flavor to me. I too have stopped using sugarcraft. Thats where I bought it. It's worth trying .

Bad news fellow CCers ~ I just did a Google search for Creme Royal Flavoring. The only place I could find to purchase it is Sugarcraft (sorry I said a "bad" word ). There has to be somewhere else that carries it. The article did say it is widely used in Kentucky. Any of you KY CCers that can direct us to purchasing Creme Royal?

I put forth the question in a new topic so hopefully more members would see it. I hope someone knows of a place you can get it from, kinda like the Wedding Bouquet that is only available from Miss Sandra down in Louisiana.

Thanks Lanibird, that was nice of you. Hopefully someone in CC land will know something.

Creme Royal (to me) tastes like Creme Bouquet without the citrus component.

Princess cake flavoring might work if you think Creme Royal has a nut component (I didn't).

I love this cake and so do my customers. Any frosting you make will go with it beautifully!

The first time I made the wasc cake, I tried chocolate icing, liked the cake, liked the icing, did not like them together.
