Cake question

[rachelmanija]

I normally dislike icing. It's too sweet and tastes like nothing but sugar. However, I recently made honey spice cakes and iced them with Martha Stewart's lavender icing, and it was delicious and easy to make. I think I could adapt the same recipe to make any sort of herb/spice/floral icing

lemon and basil are a favorite of mine!
mint icing might be kind of good too...

Lemon and rosemary? (or thyme?)
Orange and cinnamon?

Did I miss the posting of the recipe for the honey spice cakes? Because dang, those sound good!

I read that website's name (inn at the crossroads) as 'innana at the crossroads' and was reading for Sumerian paganism content!

I haven't tried it, but I think tarragon would go well with something sweet (there are brands of tarragon-flavored soda in some countries). Maybe on a lemon-flavored cake?

My god. I may need to try making those. I do have guests coming this weekend who I could experiment on...
