Icing - Which way do you go?

[siduri]

always home made, always with good ingredients, meaning real ingredients, meaning no crisco, margarine, or other junk food.
butter, cream cheese, sugar, cream, sour cream, etc. etc. etc.
The recipes are countless.
get used to the real thing and you'll be able to taste the fake-o stuff, the flavor enhancers, the artificial greases, the stuff that is surely bad for you, but mainly bad for your taste buds - and your soul!
remember, man does not live by bread alone, cake is also good, and frosting, don;t forget the frosting.

So, CarlAird, when are we going to see some of your work? I need to take photos of mine as photography is a hobby of mine, but I've been sans scanner for a while. Time to make that $99 investment.

Will you post some photos of what you're up to?

Sure!!

You can use Imageshack (www.imageshack.com)

And just to be specific... I'm talking chocolate cake pics, not beefcake.

I will defiantly make sure and try to make some icing from scratch. Might as well take the plunge and start walking up the stairs. Thanks for all the input!
