Vanilla Almond Glaze

TwinGodesses's Note:

I would say that this is one of my favorite glazes that is great on almost anything. I use this glaze on my homemade Louisiana Crunch Cake, on homemade doughnuts, and on cinnamon rolls! Delicious!!!

Thank you for posting this! It is exactly what I have been searching for! I use this on my almond poppyseed cake and it makes it so much better. I've tried many other glaze recipes in the past and they are always too liquidy and just soak into the cake and become sticky. This recipe has a delicious flavor and is more like an icing when it dries, which is what I like. It is like the glaze on old fashioned doughnuts and the pudding ring cakes you find at the grocery store. This would be great on almost any dessert. Thanks again, this recipe is definitely a keeper and I'm so glad you posted it!
