can I save my failed icing?!

Hiya, just wondered if anyone can help - I made some fairy cakes at the weekend. I had some leftover icing from a previous batch (butter, milk and icing sugar.) I thought it'd be a good idea to add a drop of whisky to the icing for a different flavour - but it just made the mixture way too runny.
Then I tried to save it by adding a) more icing sugar, and b) egg whites and beating - but all I suceeded in doing was doubling the ampunt of mixture and making it almost unbearably sweet! It's now sitting in the fridge taking up space - can anyone think of a way I can save it, or is it destined for the bin now?
Thanks

can you take a small blob of that and add it to a new batch of butter and see how it goes? i 'spose then you are risking more butter on it though.
would a little bit of cornflour work do you think? im not sure.It only takes a second to say 'Thanks, you just saved me a few quid!'

I thought about cornflour - would have to buy some though as Id on't have any in!0

Don't think you can eat uncooked cornflour! I'd just use icing sugar but it will be sweet! What about ground almonds?Less is more0
-
ooh - yes. I do have some almonds - that could work.... I'm loathe to use more icing sugar as it's already just about as sweet as I can stand!0

I think almonds would work really well, but I am a 'nutty' person!:rotfl:Less is more0
