ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH YUMMY CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM ICING
This frosting adds so much to a plain Angel Food Cake. I have had good luck with both purchased cakes, cakes from mixes, or cake from scratch (really too much work when the mix is just as good). You could also use this on other cakes but is perfect with the lightness of Angel Food.

STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM ICING - WILTON
This is the icing with whipped cream I learned from the Wilton Cake Deco classes I took. Hope it's something you can use. No more thin runny whipped cream, and your whipping cream will hold up for days. This is fabulous on cakes --- for 2 cups whipping cream use 2 tsp gelatin in 2 tbsp cold water, and 1/2 cup sugar.

WHIPPED CREAM ICING
Wonderful light whipped cream icing. Not sweet sweet like traditional but you can adjust how sweet by adding a bit more sugar.. It's a bit sturdier with the added cornstarch over just whipped cream.. Does not affect the flavor. Still needs to be refrigerated but holds up very well. If flavoring add flavor when you add the sugar

Tips for Making Whipped Cream Icing:
- Use cold cream and beaters. This will help the cream whip up faster and more easily.
- Gradually increase the speed of the beaters. Start on low speed and gradually increase it to high speed as the cream begins to thicken.
- Do not overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become stiff and grainy.
- Add flavorings and colorings at the end. This will prevent them from curdling the cream.
- Use whipped cream icing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion:
Whipped cream icing is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to top cakes, cupcakes, pies, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized with a variety of flavors and colors. With a little practice, you can create beautiful and delicious whipped cream icing that will impress your friends and family.
