White - Chocolate - Mocha Frosting Recipes

Plain icing may be made by moistening confectioner's sugar
with milk or water and then adding flavoring of your choice.
Either the plain or the white frosting recipe may be used as a foundation for nuts or chopped fruit. Orange frosting may be made by moistening the sugar with orange juice.
{Ky cook adds: I would NOT recommend using the egg white frosting for a cake and using today's storage methods. I don't trust using raw eggs in this way}
