How do I make creamy icing for cake , and what ingrediants do I need?

Answer 1

Easy Creamy Icing

INGREDIENTS
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 drops red food coloring
DIRECTIONS
Blend sugar, salt and flavoring. Add cream or water to make it easy to spread.

Answer 2

Buttercream
4 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
10 ounces butter, cubed and at room temperature
In a large mixing bowl, whip the eggs until light and fluffy.
In a small saucepan bring the sugar and the corn syrup to a boil. Lubricate the inside of a metal baster with a small amount of vegetable oil and dispense it completely. Then use this to drizzle the sugar mixture into the mixing bowl with the eggs. The mixer should be on low speed until you finish drizzling in all of the sugar mixture.
Once the entire mixture of the sugar is incorporated, slowly add the butter pieces. Only add more butter when you can no longer see the previously added pieces. It will go fast at first and then slow down. Continue to whip until the mixture is creamy.
