Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 (1 pound boxes) confectioners' sugar
1 cup water
5 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Food coloring, as desired (see suggested colors below)

Steps:

  • Put the sugar in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on the lowest speed, slowly add the water, the corn syrup and vanilla extract. When the sugar is sufficiently moistened (it won't fly out of the mixer), raise the speed to high, and beat for 2 minutes until completely smooth and glossy.
  • Divide and color, as desired. Store at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the icing, to prevent forming a skin.
  • For cupcakes: Dip the surface of the cupcakes into the icing, allowing excess to drip into bowl. Clean any excess from the sides. Alternately, use a knife or a spreader to apply. Whisk as needed to keep icing glossy and smooth while using.
  • For Light Blue Icing: Combine 2 to 3 drops of blue food coloring to 1 cup of Basic Glaze Icing.
  • For Deep Yellow Icing: Combine 4 to 5 drops of yellow food coloring to 1 cup of Basic Glaze Icing.

Tips:

- Use fresh vanilla beans for the best flavor. If you don't have vanilla beans, you can use 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. - Make sure the glaze is not too thick or too thin. If it's too thick, add a little water or milk. If it's too thin, add a little powdered sugar. - Use the glaze immediately after making it. It will start to thicken as it cools. - If you're using the glaze on a cake or other dessert, let the glaze cool slightly before pouring it over the dessert. This will help prevent the glaze from soaking into the dessert too much. - You can store the glaze in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to use it, reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop until it's warmed through.

Conclusion:

This basic vanilla glaze is a versatile and easy-to-make glaze that can be used on a variety of desserts. It's perfect for cakes, cookies, muffins, and even fruit.
