Actually whenever I make cake with icing I use dreamwhip for it,u would also see that in my all cakes.Because it is easy and no more butter comsuming…….but one of my friend asked me dreamwhip company has any tie up with u……… so I thought I will do a different icing in this but again without dreamwhip I can’t ……..so I used it for decoration…………
