Who has a good and easy icing for spice cake?

Question

I need an icing that will go good with spice cake. I dont really want anything with cream cheese. Any ideas?

Why not just make a simple glaze out of powdered sugar, a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon, and a bit of milk. Whisk until lump-free, and drizzle over yoru cake, allowing to drip down the sides.

Answer 5

A buttercream icing might work if you don't want cream cheese. You could also make a simple glaze with powdered sugar and water.

Answer 6

Go to the store and pick up a container already made. You can't put anything but cream cheese with spice cake. You could try just plain vanilla but it just won't be the same♥

Answer 7

To make frosting: cream butter and 1/2 cup shortening together. Add maple flavoring. Gradually add confectioners' sugar. Gradually add milk and continue beating until light and airy. Add more milk if necessary. Color with maple coloring, if desired.
