Basic Butter Cream Icing Beat butter in small bowl with electric mixer until as white as possible. Gradually beat in half of the icing sugar, milk, vanilla essence (optional) then remaining icing sugar. Colour as required.
Tip: To achieve a perfect white icing, use vegetable shortening instead of butter. Vegetable shortening is white and easier to colour if needed. Coconut Frosting Sift icing sugar into a bowl, add coconut and food colouring, then add enough egg white to make a firm but spreadable frosting. Spread onto a cold cake, then decorate.
