Yes, you can make your own cake icing (also works for cupcakes). get a big bowl and you only need two ingredients, milk and sugar ( not the sugar you put in coffee or Hot Chocolate, you'll need powered sugar) then mix the milk and sugar in the bowl and you'll have icing. if the icing is too loose add a little more sugar. Then let it dry.

NOTE: wash bowl right away after using it or the icing will dry. And if you dont like really sweet frosting dont make this :)

What goes on cake icing or frosting?

Some argue that frosting and icing are the same thing and the terms are used interchangeably, however there are differences in the two. Both however can be used on a cake, depending on the desired end result the person is trying to achieve. Icing: Some argue that using the term icing is more professional when referring to cake and cookie icing that pipes well and is more rigid. Icing tends to be more sugary and hardens faster. It appears milky and crystal like and can be used for decorating. It is thinner than cake frosting and is used on ring doughnuts, the glossier carrot cakes, and the lines decorating gingerbread men, as well as many other applications. Icing is most often drizzled, brushed, or poured onto the confection and some times the best way to get the icing on the cake is to dip it in. Frosting: Frosting is thicker, creamier, and fluffier than icing. It contains butter and fats, which generally make it richer than icing, and it is more moist and softer than icing. Frosting is usually chocolate or vanilla in flavor and often contains powered sugar. Frosting is generally used on cakes and cupcakes and is piped on or spread on, with a knife or spatula.


When icing cakes what is a crumb coat?

In order to have your icing on your cake be crumb free (most noticeable when icing a chocolate or dark cake with white or light icing) first ice your cake with a thinned out layer of the icing. (You can thin out your icing with water our milk.) ...don't worry about crumbs or the cake showing through at this point. You are basically "sealing in" the crumbs, ergo the name crumb coat. Pop your cakes in the frig, for 30 minutes to an hour to set the crumb coat of icing. Then apply a second coat, or finish coat to the cake, with thicker icing than the first, or crumb coat. This way you end up with a finish coating of icing that is crumb free and professional looking. Think of the crumb coat at the primer on your walls when you are painting. A good base coat make the finish coat smooth and even. Here is a link that explains: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-crumb-coat.htm
