If you are using powdered sugar, make sure it is sifted before adding it to the icing. This will help to prevent lumps.
Start with a small amount of milk and add more as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
If you are making the icing ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring it to room temperature before using.
