Ingredients

  • 6 cups confectioners/icing sugar
  • 2 cups butter at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract preferably clear and that does say tablespoon, not a mistype
  • 2-4 tbsp whipping cream I used 3
  • Gel food colouring of choice I used "Rose Petal Pink" Wilton brand and decreased the amount of gel from bottom to top

Instructions

  1. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk butter until creamy.
  2. Reduce speed to low and add in icing sugar 1 cup at a time until well blended.
  3. Increase speed to med and beat until blended, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add vanilla and 2 tbsp cream and continue to beat on medium for about 1 minute.Add more cream as needed until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Continue to whip for 3-4 more minutes until frosting is completely smooth.
  6. Divide into 3 separate bowls (giving 1 bowl a bit more as the top covers more ground). Add gel icing colour to each bowl until desired shades have been reached.
  7. Frost on a cool cake using the methods described in the post above and chill.
