    Incredible!
    This is the recipe my Mom used, and I've always used (minus the almond extract), for icing (and Mom decorated cakes professionally!). Don't pour the milk in all at once; add it a tablespoon at a time, and mix in thoroughly in between, to find your preferred consistency. - 10/24/10

    O.K.
    Tasted good, too sweet though, and very very runny! Soaked right through the cake... - 7/7/08
