I'm looking for a recipe for decorating icing that you put on cakes. Can you help me?

Question

I think it has powdered sugar in it but i'm not really sure. Thanks for the answers.

Answer 1

You take confectionery sugar a stick of margarine beat with mixer and add milk just a little at a time. If you add too much milk just add more sugar. This can be colored with food coloring for variety. Good Luck.

Answer 2

ROYAL ICING

Makes enough for 8 Sugar-Cookie Cakes, or about 6 cups

3 pounds confectioners' sugar

3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons meringue powder or powdered egg whites

Stir together the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder, and 1 1/4 cups water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until smooth, about 7 minutes. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, to achieve a consistency slightly thicker than honey. Icing can be stored airtight up to 2 hours.
