The best news is that the icing (or frosting as it’s also sometimes called) is not hard to make at all. Read on to learn how you can make your own in a few simple steps.

Step One:
The very first thing that you will need to do is to get all the ingredients that are required. Those are sugar, and heavy cream or whipping cream (milk works as well).

Step Two:
Place the powdered sugar in a bowl, and then simply start adding the heavy cream into the center of the bowl while you are stirring around with a whisk or a fork. You do not have to add all of the heavy cream at once, in fact, it is advisable that you add a little bit at the time while continuing to whisk around as to make sure that no lumps are formed, while at the same time decreasing the risk of adding too much cream to the mix.

Step Three:
Once a nice glaze have formed, you can then proceed to add some flavoring in the form of vanilla or perhaps even cocoa powder. Once added to the mixture, mix everything around again until you are satisfied with the consistency.

Doing this can be a lot of fun as it allows you to be very creative, so hopefully, at the end, you will have a cake with icing that not only looks awesome but that also looks fantastic.
