For a thinner consistency, ideal for flooding cookies, add a touch more cream, a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. If the icing becomes too thin, gradually add more sifted confectioners' sugar until it thickens. To prevent the icing from crusting over while decorating, cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface. Gel food coloring works best for coloring this icing, as it won't alter the consistency as much as liquid food coloring. This icing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-beat before using.
