Step 1:
Prepare the icing
Any type of icing will work, including ready-made icing you can buy at the store. We'll discuss standard icing rather than glazes or royal icing (which involve a different set of rules--and aren't for the beginner). Basically you just want it to be smooth and free of air pockets. It should look and feel light and fluffy, with a fairly thin consistency, so it's easy to spread.
Mix the icing with a rubber spatula or an electric mixer (use a paddle attachment and set the mixer on the lowest speed). You can add water or milk to thin the icing as needed. It should hold about a 1/4-inch peak when properly thinned. Once you're finished mixing, place a small amount in a separate bowl. This will be used for the base layer (explained in Step 5).
