I would like to bake a cake, but I don't have any icing sugar. I live out in the country and it is too far to go for just icing sugar. Does anyone have any ideas on something else I might be able to top my cake with?

Put regular sugar in your blender or food processor and whiz it into powdered sugar. Problem solved? If no blender--look in your cookbook for cooked icings.

depends on what kind of cake your baking. If chocolate cake you could top it with a ganache. You could use whipped cream on almost any cake. Or if it's a pound cake you could just serve it with fresh fruit and maybe a drizzle of honey or if a pound cake slice it and toast the slices then spread thinly with some lemon curd or jam

Ice Cream. Soften it just a bit, spread it on the cake. You will have to freeze cake afterward, but yum!

Cut cake into sqaures
Place in bowl or on plate
Top with chocolate syrup, ice cream, or see what else you have in the fridge or cupboard! It can become very elegant.

Cream cheese is a wonderful coating, they use it a lot in Germany especially on Carrot Cake

you can make your own icing sugar from caster sugar, pulverizing it in a food processor...or you can make a nice chocolate icing by melting 100g of chocolate with 50g butter and 1 taps sugar...or just frost it with double whipped cream...
