Instructions

Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl to ensure a smooth, lump-free icing.
Gradually stir in milk until the icing reaches a smooth consistency that is not too runny.
For colored icing, divide the mixture into separate small containers for each color and gradually add food coloring until you achieve the desired shades.
