Put about 1/3 cup of powdered sugar in to a bowl. put in just a splash of
milk.(start with very small amount of milk, you really don't need that much)
Mix ingredients until frosting is thick but can still run off spoon. Add
what ever colors you desire. (i usually mix up two or three different colors
