Answer 1

you could just make a glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 T Water or Milk
1 t vanilla

stir together until smooth

pour SLOWLY over cake.

or you could just dust the cake with powdered sugar

Answer 2

You can make a glaze, you need 4 cups of powdered sugar, 2 TBS vanilla extract, 2 TBS milk mix together and there you go. If it's too think or thin add what ever you need, but remember that powdered sugar is fluffy so a little liquid gos a long way. Good luck

Answer 3

What about pudding, but use 3/4 the amount of milk and fold in a container of cool whip.

You will have to keep it in the fridge though.

Answer 4

do you have powdered sugar?

* 2 cups confectioners' sugar, sift before measuring
* 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, soft
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 3 to 4 tablespoons milk

you can add cream cheese, cool whip or cocoa for different flavors

Answer 5

pudding mix no just take powered sugar and a little milk and you got yourself a easy frosting ok

Answer 6

If it wasn't chocolate I would say jello...strawberry or cherry jello, that hasn't set up yet, poured over a while cake keeps it really moist and it tastes really good...but I don't know how well it would work on Chocolate...
