Snowy White Glaze


Ingredients:

1 10-oz pkg. powdered sugar
5 Tbs. milk
2 tsp. vanilla


Directions:

Stir together to make a thick glaze that won't drip all the way down the sides of the cake. Stir in an additional Tbs. or two of milk if you'd like a thinner glaze.

NOTE: This makes much more frosting than I used on my cake. You could half the recipe, if desired.
