You don’t need to be a professional pastry chef to make your own delicious icing, just a few simple ingredients and a bit of patience.

Ingredients
- 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup of butter or margarine, softened
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Begin by sifting the powdered sugar into a bowl. This is to ensure that the icing is as smooth as possible. Take the softened butter and add it to the bowl. Mix the two ingredients together using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer. Take the vanilla extract, milk or cream and the pinch of salt and add them to the mixture. Beat the ingredients together until they are creamy and smooth.
Once the icing is ready, it’s time to begin frosting the cake. Take a spoon and begin spreading the icing on the cake. Make sure to spread the icing evenly and evenly cover the top of the cake. Take a butter knife and use it to smooth out the icing and make sure there are no air bubbles. Once the top of the cake is finished, you can begin frosting the sides.
Take the butter knife and slowly move it around the sides of the cake in a circular motion. This will help to create a smooth and even layer of icing. Once the sides are finished, you can add any decorations you would like to the top of the cake. When the cake is complete, put it in the refrigerator to cool and set.
