Plain Icing No. 1 Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Plain Icing No. 1 Recipe, first add confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar) to a small amount of light-colored fruit juice, - pineapple, pear and lemon, or lemon juice and water. Stir in enough sifted sugar to form a consistency to spread on cake. This icing will not dry out as quickly as boiled icing and it forms a crust over the surface very readily.

Icing No. 2

Make the same as No. 1, except use cream or milk, or egg yolk, or both, as wetting, in the place of water or fruit juice.
