for a thinner icing this should work:
2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla and milk!. Then add more milk a bit at a time until it is thin enough to drizzle over a cake!. Once you've iced your cake, it's best to let it stand for one or two hours!.
for thicker frosting:
1 cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
4 tablespoons milk
Beat together shortening and vanilla for 30 seconds medium speed with an electric mixer!. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar a bit at a time while beating!. Then add 2 tablespoons milk!. Slowly add in the rest of the powdered sugar and the rest of the milk until you get the right thickness for your frosting!.
You might want to double both the recipes if you need to cover two cakes!. Or if you run out you could always make more!
