I'm looking in a cake decorating book which has little cake squares you are supposed to dip in "liquid icing." I guess its supposed to be liquidy but thick enough to stay on the cake and not soak in the cake. Does anyone have the recipe for this??? Please help, they look so yummy.

It would be just a regular powdered sugar and milk and vanilla recipe. The one in the Wilton class books.

well, if it were butter cream icing, you would just add an extra tablespoon of milk, or whatever the liquid is. It is important that the cake be COMPLETELY cool, or the liquid icing will run too much.
