So we come to the third and the most easiest frosting ever - Glaze (Glaće) Icing - this is very easy to make and can instantly transform any cake, cookie and make it presentable! 
Recipe : 1) take 3 cups icing sugar (confectioners sugar)  2) add just 1 tablespoon water at a time and whisk (hand whisk does the job) , until it turns all smoothe and shiny ( you will need around 3 tablespoons)3) you can decorate cake and cookies with this. It sets in about an hour or two, however,  it takes 6-8 hours to completely set and harden.

Alternatively, 1)you can use cold milk instead of water and a few drops of vanilla essence for a good flavour 2)you can use rose water for a different flavour 3)or, for lemon cakes you can use a few drops of lemon juice and zest for a nice flavour 4) you can use food colouring for different colours 5) trained and skilled bakers use egg whites instead and make royal icing for decorating cookies and they have a brilliant sheen!
As I mentioned, I'm not artsy and I'm keeping it simple and basic 😀 #keepingitsimple #justhomemade #wholesome
