Super Quick Easy Icing Glaze Or Drizzle For Baked Goods Recipes

Steps:

• Put the sugar in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on the lowest speed, slowly add the water, the corn syrup and vanilla extract. When the sugar is sufficiently moistened (it won't fly out of the mixer), raise the speed to high, and beat for 2 minutes until completely smooth and glossy.
• Divide and color, as desired. Store at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the icing, to prevent forming a skin.
• For cupcakes: Dip the surface of the cupcakes into the icing, allowing excess to drip into bowl. Clean any excess from the sides. Alternately, use a knife or a spreader to apply. Whisk as needed to keep icing glossy and smooth while using.
• For Light Blue Icing: Combine 2 to 3 drops of blue food coloring to 1 cup of Basic Glaze Icing.
• For Deep Yellow Icing: Combine 4 to 5 drops of yellow food coloring to 1 cup of Basic Glaze Icing.
• For Purple Icing: Combine 4 drops of red and 5 drops of blue food coloring to 1 cup of Basic Glaze Icing.

Steps:

• Combine the powdered sugar and half and half or cream and stir until the sugar is completely absorbed by the cream. It should look just like the packaged icing that comes in store-bought ready-made cinnamon rolls.
• Add the teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can also add a few drops of almond extract, but be careful--this extract is very strong! Recipes often recommend a few drops per CAN of cheesecake fruit topping, etc. This is only half a cup of icing, so don't add too much!
• The icing is ready to drizzle over scones, sweet biscuits, etc. I drizzle on the icing with a small spoon in a zig-zag pattern.

Steps:

• Mix the confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla together.
• Adding half the milk (or orange juice) to start with, stir in to make a thick glaze, adding just a drop at a time more until you get a nice thick glaze.
• Spread or pour immediately over cooled cinnamon rolls, pastries, pound cakes, or Danish.
• Glaze will form a crust and harden as it cools, but you can spread over warmed cakes and serve that way as well.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth.
