Thank you so much!

Bless your heart; thank you.

Is vanilla extract necessary ?

[@BeckyKastelz]

Hi Lucy! The vanilla extract makes a nice balanced flavor to keep the glaze from only tasting like powdered sugar, but you can definitely swap it out for another extract or even some citrus juice. Hope this helps! 😁

[@LGthoughts]

@@BeckyKastelz It definitely does! Thank you so much for your video and speedy response!

How long can i put in the freezer ?

[@BeckyKastelz]

Hi, thanks for watching! I don't recommend putting this glaze in the freezer. Because the powdered sugar content causes a slight crusting on the surface, it's best to use immediately after making. If you do need to hold it for 2-3 days, you can store it in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid; place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the glaze before adding the lid and keep in the refrigerator. Let the glaze return to room temperature before use. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Thanks, you saved me. I have a lemon pound cake in the oven and did not how to make the glaze.

[@DraGnFly007]

U can use lemon juice mixed with sugar as a glaze as well!🤤

[@sreyamathew327]

Is this the kind of glaze that dries a bit on the cake. I like that one.

[@BeckyKastelz]

Hi Sreya! Yes, this glaze will dry with a mild crust due to the powdered sugar content.

I'm making cake pops for my sister's birthday and needed to know how to make the glaze, thank you SO much💕

[@debrarobertson6021]

Thank you!! Thank you!! I’ve steered away from making glaze because of the way it turned out….a metallic taste. The butter was the key. This glaze it wonderful !❤️❤️

[@jayperumal5952]

How long can the glaze last if in a humid country? Can I use evaporated milk instead of milk?

[@shirleypetzer9843]

How much glaze should I make to cover 60 mini doughnuts please

[@denisehussey9353]

Did you ever think to add the amounts of each ingredient would be helpful? Just a helpful suggestion.

[@BeckyKastelz]

Thanks, Denise! I have a terrible memory for recipe amounts and would hate to say the wrong measurement for an ingredient, so you can always find the recipe in the video description. I hope this helps 😁

[@denisehussey9353]

@@BeckyKastelz no worries. I found someone else who gave amounts. 1 1/2 c powdered sugar 1 tsp melted butter 1 tsp vanilla 2 Tbs milk

[@dasean4000]

If you would use the 2 things on your face you would see that at the bottom of the video

[@GreatNo01]

What’s a gram?

[@marshakowalski3920]

How much of each?? 🤷‍♀️

[@greentea4152]

Will be transparent when glaze on donut or it would be white thick top

[@BeckyKastelz]

The glaze will stay white. Thanks for watching!

[@qusheecaaxmed5243]

Great

[@suzannebeland4174]

Can I maybe get the measurements???????

[@BeckyKastelz]

Hi there! The measurements are included in the video description. Hope you enjoy!

[@louanningram8144]

Thank you; you save me too I had powdered sugar but didn’t know how to make the glaze. Blessings ❤️❤️

Great video thanks

Not going to go out and buy a scale. 67 yrs old I am and now gotta cook by weight measures?

[@casey5018]

Cooking by weight is much more accurate boomer

[@dianarodriguez5577]

Is the milk room temperature or did you heat it up?

[@BeckyKastelz]

Room temperature is totally fine for the milk, I've even used it cold straight out of the fridge. I hope this helps, and thank you for watching!

[@aliasgarden5876]

Nice share

[@luazul_]

I tried to make it but mine didnt look as smooth as yours 😭😭😭

[@luazul_]

does anyone have any tips on how i could avoid this?? It looked so grainy

[@BeckyKastelz]

I'm so sorry you had trouble with the glaze! Did you sift your powdered sugar first? If there are any lumps present before the liquid and powdered sugar some into contact they won't be able to dissolve.

[@ayeshakhilji2831]

How to cut the cake/pastry that has this icing. Whenever i cut it cracks and it’s not presentable 😅

[@BeckyKastelz]

Hi Ayesha! Because the glaze contains powdered sugar, it will always dry with a slight crust, making cutting slices cleanly a little tricky. The best way to cut down on the cracks is to use a hot, clean knife for every slice. I like to dip my knife into steaming hot water and quickly dry it before I make each cut. Hope this helps!

[@ayeshakhilji2831]

@@BeckyKastelz Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely try doing this the next time i make it! ♥️

Poor audio quality

[@Flowerchild778]

Wow, maybe try earbuds

[@grande42xcom]

I was wearing my earbuds when I first watching this video. It didn't sound very good. So then I tried to watch it at home on my computer with some better speakers. It didn't sound much better. But I am still going to try this recipe soon and I hope it comes out well.@@Flowerchild778
