To give some desserts an elegant, flavorful finish without spending lots of money, keep these simple essentials on hand: powdered sugar, cinnamon, instant coffee, nutmeg, ginger, and cocoa powder.
For a spiced powdered sugar, simply mix 1 C. powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tsp. of any spice or instant coffee. This is sure to impress!

And to turn this into a glaze, add 1-2 T. milk and a 1/4 tsp. of your favorite extract, liquer, or flavor.
