Quick Frosting 1/4 c. margarine 1 c. sugar 1/4 c. milk 3 Tbs. cocoa (optional) Cream margarine and sugar in saucepan. Add milk and bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and beat until the mixture thickens. Spread on cooled cake. (8 in .cake. Double the recipe for 9x13 cake.) For chocolate frosting add cocoa to margarine and sugar.

For a real simple frosting...2 parts icing sugar to 1 part butter which means if 500g icing sugar then 250g butter. or 14oz sugar to 7 oz butter.Cream the butter and then add in the sifted icing sugar. Beat well till light and fluffy. Add some vanilla essence or lemon juice or any other flavouring. If you want chocolate icing, use a little less sugar and substitute with cocoa. Yummy!

The easiest frosting in the world is a little melted butter (about a quarter cup -- zap it in the microwave), some powdered sugar and enough milk to make it soft enough to spread. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar, if it's too thick, add a little milk (but just a drop or two! it's very sensitive!).But don't be afraid to try ones like 7-minute frosting. They take time, but they are really yummy -- and seriously, it'll take less than 10 minutes from start to finish.

quickest, easiest way is buy a can at the supermarket, lots of different flavours and no-one will know the difference

this one is yummy and easy to make...Pudding Icing1 envelope Topping mix, such as Dream Whip1 -- 4 ounce box of Instant Pudding Mix1-1/2 cups milk1/2 tsp vanillaCombine all ingredients in a small bowl. Mix to moisten. Beat about 5 minutes until mixture will stand in peaks. Makes about 4 cups.Variations: The lemon instant pudding mix works good. Also the butter pecan. And the vanilla is very versatile. Just try them all to decided your favourite. I like using chocolate instant pudding... YUM YUM!!

if you don't like really sweet frosting...this one is good I use it all the time.... the only downfall to it is that it needs to stay refregerated...2 pkgs dream whip follow the directions on the package to make it.add 1 sm pkg instant pudding whatever your favorite flavor is1/2 cup milkbeat into the dream whip frost on cake or cup cakes refrigeratethis is really good on angel food cakes.
