What's in king cake icing?

[culinary_connoisseur]

I've always loved the sweet drizzle on top of king cakes, but I've never been quite sure what it's made of. Is it a simple glaze or something more elaborate? Can anyone spill the beans on this delicious topping? Thanks a bunch!

King cake icing typically consists of powdered sugar, milk or water, and vanilla extract, sometimes enhanced with lemon juice or almond extract for flavor.

Vanilla essence, milk or water, and powdered sugar are the usual ingredients of king cake frosting. For enhanced flavour, almond extract or lemon juice may occasionally be added.
