OK - I've crumb coated my 12x18....now I need to ice it - but do I use thinned icing? Thinned with corn syrup? And just exactly how thin should it be?? lol Should have asked this a couple of days ago, but glad I thought of it now!
TIA!

i know it's much later...but i always just thin my icing with water. but that is with the 'class' BC icing (all crisco). i just kind of judge it based on how it moves around in the bowl as i'm mixing, adding a little bit of water, mixing it in, adding more, etc. try to get it smooth but not too thin that it falls off.
i've found the 1/2 crisco, 1/2 butter recipie is soooo much smoother and thinner (maybe because the butter is 'melting' so to speak) that i need to add much less water to it.
