If you are in search of the perfect Vanilla Icing Glaze to top your cookies, bundt cake, scones or donuts, look no further!
Vanilla Icing Glaze
This Vanilla Icing Glaze is sweet and has a nice vanilla flavor. I find myself wanting to ice and glaze my food, because I like this so much!
What’s really nice about this recipe is that you can make it lemon flavored, orange, etc. Just switch out the vanilla for your favorite extract or flavoring. You may need to test it with a smaller amount, then add more as desired.
Use Vanilla Icing Glaze on cookies, scones, donuts, bundt cakes, cinnamon rolls, birthday cakes, sweet breads (banana, chocolate, zucchini, etc.), or any sweet treat you like!
This icing glaze sets up solid, but not too hard. I think the texture is really nice to bite in to.

Made snowflake-shaped sugar cookies and this icing drizzled beautifully!
I used agave instead of corn syrup, my preference, and the icing was a beautiful white.
The icing also held the glitter sprinkles well.
So many compliments,… Win, win!

I’m looking for a frosting that drys crunchy.Would this work?
Sandy
I don’t know if is crunchy, but it does dry solid.
Gena Nadeau
Would you recommend this icing for coating petit fours?
Sandy
Yes, this would be nice for them as it dries.
Susan
My icing keeps turning clear (instead of white) when I pour it on. What am I doing wrong?
Sandy
Hmmm, I would try adding more powdered sugar, or mix it longer with a whisk. Please let me know if this helps! Also, this is not a completely white icing, but it shouldn’t be clear either.
Dawn
I tried the icing also, and it’s almost clear too. In your picture your icing is a thick white. What’s the trick?
Sandy
I guess I let it thicken a bit before frosting. You could try adding a little more powdered sugar to make it a bit thicker.

This glaze was just what I needed for my bundt cake. It’s the perfect consistency. I used a little more milk, about a teaspoon, to make it pretty thin. Thanks for the recipe!
