yummy JaneB recipe for icing

take 5 1/2 oz dark chocolate (I used M&S organic fairtrade 70% for yours - truly yummy chocolate anyway - just because that's where I was when I was buying chocolate) and 5floz double cream. Melt the chocolate, cool slightly and stir in the cream. Leave to thicken and then smear on cakes (and eat several sneaky spoonfuls if you're me.....). I did actually add a couple of spoons of sieved icing sugar to yours as I felt it lacked a bit of sweetness and I think it helped to bring out a nice chocolatey taste.
