Mock Cream is a popular alternative to real cream..
It is sweet, thick and delicious and is perfect for icing birthday cakes.? It is easy to colour, is stable and tastes totally yum!
Mock Cream lasts a whole lot longer if you need to make a birthday cake in advance. And Mock Cream is traditionally spread over the entire cake (sides and all) which makes the cake stay fresher for longer.
Mock Cream is also used as an alternative to fresh cream in doughnuts and lamingtons.
Most bakeries use a version of Mock Cream for their display cakes and Mock Cream is used as the main icing used by cake decorators.
You can add any colours or flavours you like – but this is a standard vanilla version.
