Part 1 of 3: Thicken icing by adding ingredients

1. Add the ingredients a little at a time. One of the main reasons consistency fails is because people add too much of a particular ingredient.
   • Add both the liquids and the dry ingredients in small amounts at a time. If the icing is still too thick, add just a little bit of moisture, because if you do too much you will get too thin a icing.
