Quick glaze/Icing

Someone asked me once how to make a quick glaze/icing for cakes. So here goes.

You'll need some powdered sugar, a good amount of it..I've never used measurements, so I've always just eyed it. Plus it'll be contingent on how much you'd need.

In a bowl whisk the powdered sugar, slowly pouring water until it reaches a semi thick but still liquidy consistency --think the way the krisy kreme glaze just waterfalls over the doughnuts...It'll be a transluscent in color...

Finally, add in some extract, I've used vanilla and almond...but I'm sure you can experiment with this as well...

There you have it.

you can add just a bit of lemon juice and make it a lemony icing... really tasty on fresh baked bundt style cakes...

I've also made it with milk which gives it a little richer consistancy... that's especially nice on cinammin buns..

I like to whisk a little bit of cream until it's frothy, not whipped, then whisk that into my powdered sugar. The air will assist in coating the sugar evenly. If you're going to flavor it, flavor the cream.

I usually skip the water alltogether and use lemon juice as the only liquid. I like stuff REALLY lemony.

I love these new ideas..it'll give my forever-recipe a new twist. Does anyone have any similar variations for chocolate icing?

For a chocolate glaze - add in a few tablespoons of cocoa powder with the confectioners sugar and water... you could even make it a mocha style and use espresso or coffee.. or go even fancier and use kahula or some other liquor - maybe Chambord to make it a raspberry/chocolate glaze...
