Can you make icing WITHOUT butter?!

Answers:
Icing can be made with powdered icing sugar, water and a little lemon juice, or sugar, milk and a drop of vanilla essence!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you want the icing to stay soft for a few days, then you need to use some kind of oil-based product!. If not butter, then lard, shortening, margarine, cooking oil, or even Pam non-stick (if you have a pet bird, remove it from cooking area before using Pam)!. Your icing should contain icing sugar and an oil-based product only!.
The icing will go hard in 24 hours if you use water-based products (water, milk (I wouldn't use milk))!. It's your choice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've made it with just powdered sugar and milk, before!. Just add a little bit of milk at-a-time to the sugar to make a paste, then add a little bit more to make it slightly runny!. You can drizzle it on top of the cake, but not on the sides!.
It will be semi-transparent when it 'dries'!.

You can make it using shortening or Crisco in place of the butter but your frosting will not be as rich or as tasty as when it is made with butter!.
