White Icing Recipes

WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the milk and flour. Cook over medium high heat until boiling. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• When the milk mixture is cool, add the butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer for 10 to 12 minutes, scraping the bottom of the bowl occasionally. Keep frosted cakes refrigerated until 1/2 hour before serving.

REGULAR WHITE ICING (ADD BUTTER TO MAKE BUTTERCREAM ICING)

Steps:

• Mix powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Add milk teaspoon by teaspoon until desired consistency.
• Dash salt.
• Note: Do NOT pour in the milk.
• Trust me.
• Do this as instructed, or you will have to keep adding sugar until you get a good consistency, and then you will end up with enough icing to cover surplus amout of cakes!
• (If you are icing everything in your home, then go right ahead).

EASY WHITE ICING

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth.
• Gradually add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. If too thick to spread, beat in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.

BEST WHITE ICING EVER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine sugar, shortening, water and vanilla. Beat on low speed to combine, then beat on medium speed for a full five minutes. It won't look like Icing at first, but keep the mixer going for a full five minutes, and then you're done!
• Note: If you're not using this for decorating, but just for icing the cake, thin the icing by adding 3 tbs. of corn syrup, or water to the icing.

WHITE CAKE FROSTING I

Steps:

• With an electric mixer blend all ingredients until mixed.

WHITE GLAZE ICING FOR PASTRIES, CINNAMON ROLLS, AND DANISHES

Steps:

• Mix the confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla together.
• Adding half the milk (or orange juice) to start with, stir in to make a thick glaze, adding just a drop at a time more until you get a nice thick glaze.
• Spread or pour immediately over cooled cinnamon rolls, pastries, pound cakes, or Danish.
• Glaze will form a crust and harden as it cools, but you can spread over warmed cakes and serve that way as well.

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and vanilla to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar mixture while whipping constantly until stiff peaks form, about 7 to 10 minutes. Frost the cake of your choice.

WHITE ICING

Steps:

• Whisk together sugar and lemon juice until smooth. If icing is too thick, add more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time. Use immediately.

BRILLIANT WHITE ICING TO PIPE

Steps:

• Place half of your icing sugar in a bowl and add around three quarters of a tablespoon of water in order to create a thick paste-you may need to add more water in order to create this consistency.
• Then add the rest of your icing sugar- this may be hard to stir but keep stirring in order to incorporate all the icing sugar. You may need to add more water but keep the icing as thick as possible so when you pipe the icing, the piping stays in place. This should create a brilliant white icing to pipe.

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Room temperature egg whites will have more volume when beaten than cold egg whites. In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form.
• In 1-quart saucepan, stir sugar, corn syrup and water until well mixed. Cover and heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and boil 4 to 8 minutes, without stirring, to 242°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed (see Testing Candy Temperature, page 00). For an accurate temperature reading, tilt the saucepan slightly so mixture is deep enough for thermometer.
• Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
• Frost 13x9-inch cake, or fill and frost 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Leftover frosting can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 2 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; do not stir.

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a heatproof bowl of a stand mixer, whisk egg whites, sugar, water and cream of tartar until blended. Place over simmering water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisking constantly, heat mixture until a thermometer reads 160°, 3-5 minutes., Remove from heat; add vanilla. With the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, beat on high speed until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Use immediately. Store frosted cake, uncovered, in refrigerator.
