Easy Yummy Vanilla Icing for your Cupcakes and Layer Cakes and Cookies
You can buy vanilla icing in a can, but it just doesn't taste as good as the real thing. It is very simple to make a yummy vanilla icing for all your cake needs. I like to use a basic vanilla icing because you can change it in so many ways. And it's delicious right out of the bowl too.
Tint it with food coloring, or decorate the top by adding sprinkles or other decorations. Or just sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on top for a dressy topping. Enjoy!

My Favorite Saucepan is a Corning Ware Saucepan
For Yummy Vanilla Icing
Corning Ware is amazing. You can serve from it because it is that beautiful...and you can cook on top of the stove, in the oven, and in the microwave. It is dishwasher safe. I"ve had a set for 30 years. It is almost unbreakable. I love Corning Ware!
My Favorite Mixer
For Making Yummy Vanilla Icing
My son gave me this Mixer for Christmas! I am totally thrilled with it and what it can do. It even kneads bread. I keep it out on the counter because it is so beautiful and gets used so often. My kitchen is Blue, so this one is perfect, but click on the picture and you can get lots of other colors too.

- What a pretty, pretty lens to visit. That is the perfect icing for cupcakes, it so easy to make and I like that we can make it any color we want. I'm glad I had my sugar fix for the day or I be heading to the kitchen right now. ~ Nice lens Heather!
