Recipes for Icing please

Hiya,

I am making my DD's bday cake, well actually its going to be cupcakes, but I want to have really really yummy icing and I have no idea how to make it other than just the plain old milk or butter with icing sugar very borning really LOL.

so please if you have any great icing recipes or you know of a thread where this has already been answered could you please let me know,

TIA

Elle, here are a couple of Icing recipes I use.
(Cream Cheese Frosting-)
30g -butter
1& 1/2 - Cups of Icing Sugar
60g - cream cheese
1- teaspoon lemon rind
1- Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 - cup coconut
Beat butter and cream cheese until creamy. Add remaining ingredients, beating well. Spread on cake and sprinkle with coconut,or decorate as desired. I like this Icing for the kids, as it doesn`t run everywhere.
OR
(Glace`Icing.)
1/2- cup of Icing Sugar
2- teaspoons lemon juice
1- teaspoon butter.
Sift icing sugar into basin.Add lemon juice and buter and stir until smooth. Place basin over hot pan of hot water and stir until glossy. Spread over cake or cup cakes as required. Elle,hope this helps these are our favourites.

I just made choco icing for muffins not even an hour ago :D

1 and 3/4 cup icing sugar ( I used choc icing )
60 grams of butter room temp..

I also added a drop of milk to make it smooth :)

ahhh great thanks so much ladies, I will give them all a go I think and see which one will be the one I like best, I am thinking maybe the cream cheese one will be best as it will probably be the right consistancy for what I want to do, I want to pipe it on to the cup cakes so that its quite high

thanks so much for those I appreciate it very much
