Answer 1

Coffee Frosting

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

6 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

5 cups confectioners' sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Mix together; instant coffee or leftover coffee, milk, cocoa powder, butter or margarine, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar until of spreading consistency. Makes more than enough to frost a 13x9 inch sheet cake.

Frosting 2

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened

3 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur** ((try hersheys??))

3 to 4 tablespoons brewed coffee, cooled

combine all frosting ingredients except 3 to 4 tablespoons coffee in medium mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often and gradually adding enough coffee for desired spreading consistency.

Answer 2

Powdered sugar, milk, butter and a dash of vanilla... Start off with just a little bit of milk and add until it's the desired consistency.  

Answer 3

for chocolate icing use a 16 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips.

Heat water in a pan and put a glass bowl on top of the pan and add the chips to it (it's called a pan bath I think) anyway once the chips are melted add a tbsp of corn syrup so that it doesn't harden as it cools. wait 5 mins and add 1/2 stick of butter and mix together with a mixer. It will become thick and creamy and won't harden back to chips. The corn syrup will keep it creamy.

Answer 4

Quick icing - powdered sugar & milk

If you want it a little fluffier and less sugary, add vanilla pudding

Could also use cool whip with a little vanilla extract & shave a Hershy bar on top
