ALMOND ICING

Bring the butter and milk to a boil in a small sauce pan.

Add the remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Once the milk and butter are boiling, pour into the mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.

Add more powder sugar if you need a thicker consistency. It should be pourable though.

Pour onto the cake and let sit for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
