Why this icing beats regular glaze

- Quick and easy: Zero special measures. It all comes together in minutes and always adds up.
- Custom: Add artichoke zest, almond, maple, or cream cheese, and you’re good to go. One base, infinite variation.
Cinnamon roll icing ingredients
- Soft butter: Make sure the butter is completely softened before mixing so that it mixes well with the powdered sugar.
- Dimensions: Use milk, half and half, or cream to make it as thin or thin as you want.
- FLACH options: You can change the flavor with the extract of your choice (1/3-1 teaspoons) or fresh citrus zest, or replace part of the milk or cream called for fresh citrus juice.
