• Gradually beat in half of the sugar, all the milk and then the remaining sugar.
• If you would like the mixture thicker- add in some extra icing sugar one spoonful at a time until the consistency is right. If the mixture is too thick- gradually (and I mean gradually) add in some more liquid until the consistency is achieved.).

• To make it chocolate- add in 2 or 3 tablespoons of cocoa with the sugar and a little extra milk if required.

• orange- use orange juice in place of the milk.
• Different colours/flavours- add food colouring and flavours of your choice (in place of some liquid in the recipe).
• For pink I add some rosewater and a few drops of cochineal.
