Ingredients
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk or cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional, preferably gel)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Place powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl.
- Combine to Glaze: Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and reaches a nice glazing consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: If the glaze is too thick, add a small amount of milk; if too runny, add additional powdered sugar to achieve desired thickness.
- Add Color: Incorporate your choice of food coloring. If using liquid food coloring, be aware it may thin the glaze, so you might need more powdered sugar. Gel food coloring is recommended for vibrant colors without affecting consistency.
- Glaze Donuts: Dip or drizzle the glaze over store-bought donuts, then decorate with candy eyes to create the monster faces.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for brighter colors and to avoid thinning the glaze.
- For black frosting, either use black gel food coloring or add cocoa powder for a darker, brownish hue.
- Adjust glaze thickness carefully to ensure it coats donuts well without running off.
