A very basic frosting is simply confectioners (powdered) sugar, a few
drops of vanilla extract (or flavor of choice), and a little water. Add
water to desired consistancy.

Use orange or lemon juice instead of vanilla and less water.


Try your local library for any book on cake baking, wedding / birthdays
etc and you should find recipes for plain, boiled, butter creme , royal
icing etc.
