Best Frosting And Icing Recipes
SWEET MILK AND SUGAR ICING (FROSTING)
If you like frosting so sweet that it will gag you, then give this one a try. It uses 4 ingredients always on hand. The sweet milk in the title just lets you know it doesn't use buttermilk or sour milk. My family likes this on yellow cake or white cake, and to sandwich together teacakes. A word of advice...don't try to make this frosting if it is raining...it will NEVER get hard. And make sure to boil it the full 90 seconds, so that the icing isn't grainy.

FROSTING AND ICING
Steps:
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine gelatin with the water. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in granulated sugar. Place over medium heat,and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in confectioners' sugar, and beat with a whisk until foamy. Whisk in baking powder and vanilla. Transfer to the large bowl of an electric mixer, and beat at high speed until thick and cool, about 10 minutes. The frosting is bright white, but it can be tinted in small batches with food coloring.
- Use the icing as soon as it is made. For frosting cookies, spread with a metal spatula; for decorating, use in a pastry bag. Spread out the cookies in one layer to dry completely, about 40 minutes.
