Powdered Sugar Glaze: Basic Cake Icing

"The powdered sugar glaze is a basic cake icing that uses just three ingredients and a few minutes. Your cake will have an elegant finish that is smooth and a bit sweet to compliment many baked goods. This same recipe is used by bakeries throughout the United States. It is a staple sweet topping on so many pastries. Many old cookbooks just assume that everyone knows how to make powdered sugar icing. It is an easy icing that will softly harden as it sets up, but not has hard as royal icing. "
