This recipe for Plain White Icing is my go to when I’m out of time (and money).

We have several icing recipes in our site but this one’s a favourite!

I’m forever making cakes for birthdays or some kind of celebration. I do enjoy mixing it up when it comes to the icings. But when you’re a mum and so busy, you always go for the basic recipes simply because of how convenient it is.

Method

  1. Add sifted icing sugar to a bowl and gradually add the milk until you achieve the required consistency.

Recipe Hints and Tips:

  • Basic Icing Recipes are not suitable to freeze.
  • These can be made a day or two ahead of time, but they tend to go hard when you store them in the fridge. Leave them out of the fridge until room temperature and then stir until a smooth consistency.
  • PLEASE NOTE: You may need a little more milk than is specified.

We use our icing recipes for toppings on cakes and cupcakes and sometimes to pipe with.
