Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon milk
  • Food coloring (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all of the ingredients together. Stir until smooth; a fork works fine.

The glaze should be thick, but soft enough to "settle" when you spread it. If the glaze is too thick, dribble in another teaspoon of milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time.

Add food color, if you like; gel paste food colors are preferable, as they yield vibrant color, and don't alter the liquid/sugar ratio as regular food colors might.

Yield: 2/3 cup glaze.
