1 pound (454 g) powdered sugar
3/8 cup (90 ml) whole milk
3/8 cup (4.5 oz or 126 g) light corn syrup
Flavor Options: 1 tsp concentrated extract, I Tbsp alcohol or liqueur, or 2 to 3
drops concentrated candy
oil
In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the sugar and the milk first.
The icing should be very soft and have a heavy-cream texture before you add the
corn syrup. Add the corn syrup and mix just until combined.
Divide the icing into several bowls. Flavor each bowl with
extracts, alcohol or candy oils. Color each bowl of icing as desired. Cover the
bowl with plastic wrap to prevent drying until you're ready to use it.
