Icing, My SIL Made this, and it tasted just like Pillsberry, ok she did it by eye, but she used :
Powdered Sugar
a little HOT water(to melt sugar)
a spoon full of butter
and a little milk--- stir up to the consitancy of icing, and add when needing more.
Hopefully that helps, she did it soo fast and it came out so good, she made it look easy.
