Im made a recipe for a pineapple torte from a recipe in an old cookbook. The cake appears to be perfect, but the frosting recipe that went with it is more like an icing. Is they a way to thicken a frosting without having to add additional powerdered sugar?

Thank you for responding. I think you're right, but it turned out very well after all. I managed to make the frosting a thick icing and the family is more than happy with it. Maybe the recipe was meant to be this way. It's just that when I read frosting, I expect a different outcome from icing, but the icing recipe was actually awesome. Kind of like a thick icing you'd put on cinnamon rolls. Next time I'll just dribble in the milk called for in the recipe rather than dump in the two tablespoons called for.
