Answer 2

Soft Butter Icing is the best

Whip together 2 cups soft icing sugar

If you want to make chocolate add cocoa or whatever flavouring ( If liquid don't add too much) then whip again to mix and ice away!!!

Answer 3

My favorites are buttercream icing.

Buttercream

1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons water
6 slightly beaten egg yolks
2 tablespoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat.

Gradually stir bout half of sugar mixture into egg yolks. Return all of yolk mixture to saucepan. Bring to gentle boil; reduce heat. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature.

Beat butter with electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add sugar-egg mixture, beating until combined. If necessary, chill frosting until it reaches spreading consistency.

For dark chocolate buttercream, stir 4 ounces melted semisweet or bittersweet chocolate into hot sugar water.
