Prepare a double boiler by placing a pan with simmering water on the stove.

In a bowl, combine 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup, 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 3/4 teaspoon of almond extract.

Gently mix the ingredients together until combined, being careful to keep the temperature below 100°F.

Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature, making sure it doesn't exceed 100°F.

Dip the cold pound cake pieces into the icing, ensuring to swipe off excess with a knife.

Alternatively, use a metal cooling rack to pour icing over the cakes, though the creator prefers dipping to avoid mess.

If the icing gets too thick, reheat it in the double boiler to achieve the right consistency.

Add dollops of American buttercream on top of the iced cakes for decoration.
