When heating the icing be sure not to over cook it.  Overcooking will cause the icing to become dull. To keep the icing at a spreadable consistency just add a few drops of hot water to the icing and stir until smooth.  Decorate the top of each cake with candies, decorating gel or other types of cake decorating supplies.
