For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Kirsch (cherry liqueur) to the icing. Be sure to adjust the amount based on your taste preference. Ensure your bowl and beaters are thoroughly chilled before whipping the cream. This helps the cream whip up faster and hold its shape better. This icing is best used the same day it's made. However, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
