Best 4 Glaze Icing Recipes

GLAZE ICING

Steps:

• Combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and almond extract in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on lowest speed until smooth, at least 1 minute.

PRESERVED GINGER CAKE WITH LEMON ICING GLAZE

Steps:

• First prepare the cake tin by greasing it lightly and lining it with the silicone paper: press it into the tin, folding the corners in to make it fit neatly.
• The paper should come up 1 inch (2. 5 cm) above the edge.
• Preheat oven to 325*F.
• To make the cake, take a large mixing bowl and cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Next break the eggs into a jug and beat them with a fork until fluffy, then gradually beat them into the mixture, a little at a time, until all the egg is incorporated.
• Next fold in the ginger syrup and molasses; the best way to add the molasses is to lightly grease a tablespoon, then take a tablespoon of molasses and just push it off the spoon with a rubber spatula into the mixture.
• Sift the flour and ground ginger on to a plate, then gradually fold these in, about a tablespoon at a time.
• Next fold in the almonds, followed by the milk, and lastly the grated root ginger and pieces of stem ginger.
• Spread the cake mixture evenly in the cake tin, then bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is risen, springy and firm to touch in the centre.
• Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn it out on to a wire rack and make sure it is absolutely cold before you attempt to ice it.
• For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and mix with enough of the lemon juice to make the consistency of thick cream - you might not need all the lemon juice.
• Spread the icing over the top of the cake, and don't worry if it dribbles down the sides in places, as this looks quite attractive.
• Cut the remaining ginger into 15 chunks and place these in lines across the cake so that when you cut it you will have 15 squares, each with a piece of ginger in the centre.
• It's absolute heaven.
• If you'd like one or two of these cakes tucked away for a rainy day, they freeze beautifully - simply defrost and put the icing on half an hour before serving.

WHITE GLAZE ICING FOR PASTRIES, CINNAMON ROLLS, AND DANISHES

Steps:

• Mix the confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla together. Adding half the milk (or orange juice) to start with, stir in to make a thick glaze, adding just a drop at a time more until you get a nice thick glaze. Spread or pour immediately over cooled cinnamon rolls, pastries, pound cakes, or Danish. Glaze will form a crust and harden as it cools, but you can spread over warmed cakes and serve that way as well.

SUPER QUICK & EASY ICING, GLAZE OR DRIZZLE (FOR BAKED GOODS)

Steps:

• After adding a tiny dash of salt to sugar, mix creamer into sugar a little at a time until you get to your desired consistency.
• Add vanilla extract for even more vanilla flavor.
• Drizzle on cinnamon buns, muffins, bundt cakes, quick breads, cookies, etc. (This made enough for me to drizzle over a dozen huge cinnamon buns.).
