My Pro Tip for making simple icing special…

Frequently, recipes call for a simple water and powdered sugar icing to finish anything from sweet bread to bundt cakes or rolls. However, I always use milk or heavy cream (instead of water) with the powdered sugar for a better, richer flavor. 

I may also swap out the water for a fresh squeezed citrus juice like lime, lemon or orange and add in citrus zest or spices. Citrus juice with zest or spices gives you a tart, lively icing. This quick trick transforms a very simple, easy icing into an incredibly tasty sweet gloss with very little trouble. Remember: powdered sugar absorbs liquid very quickly. You don’t need much milk, cream, or juice to turn your icing into something special.
