This icing dries hard and shiny and the colors stay bright. Choose as many different food colorings as you desire.
Ingredients
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons low-fat milk
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 dash assorted natural food coloring
Directions
Step 1
Combine white sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, simmering until dissolved and a sugar syrup is created, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir together confectioner's sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Beat in almond extract and 2 teaspoons of sugar syrup until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more sugar syrup.
