Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
Powdered Sugar
Evaporated Milk
Food coloring
Vanilla (preferred pure Mexican vanilla)
Directions:
Directions:
I have no real icing recipe, I usually take our four cereal bowls and fill each about half with powdered sugar. To this I add evaporated milk, food coloring and vanilla. (the white vanilla keeps your color higher, and the Wilton paste food coloring makes nice colors.) Make icing a nice spreading consistency.
