I've adapted this recipe from what I found on YouTube at Cupcake Addiction. It's fast, easy, and delicious! It's the perfect icing for cakes, cupcakes, or piping flowers. One batch doesn't make a lot so for this large cake a had to triple it. Leftovers can be refrigerated for a few days.
Ingredients:
5 cups powdered sugar
2 1/2 sticks butter (room temperature, not unsalted)
2 teaspoons vanilla
0-3 tablespoons milk (depending on desired consistency)
1/2 teaspoon White-White Icing Color by Wilton (can be purchased at craft stores)
Equipment:
Mixer
Spatula
1) Beat the butter in electric mixer on high for 5 minutes scraping sides as needed. It will lose a lot of its color.
2) Turn the mixer down to a lower speed and pour in 3/4 of the powdered sugar a little at a time.
3) Mix in the vanilla and White-White icing color. If you are not using it for piping you can add 3 tablespoons of milk now.
4) Slowly mix in the rest of the powdered sugar.
5) Adjust the consistency by adding milk to make it softer or powdered sugar to make it thicker.
6) Beat on high for 5 minutes scraping sides as needed.
