Easy Homemade Pink Frosting #1
Similar to Traditional Icing - and directly from my friend Trang the master cupcake maker! This stuff is deeeelicious!
Servings 20 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter unsalted, at room temp
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons milk or heavy cream
- 5 teaspoons beet juice optional
- strawberries for top (optional)
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt until the consistency is smooth.
- With the mixer still going slowly add in the milk and juice until you reach the desired consistency. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes just before serving. FYI - if you refrigerate the frosting for later it will harden back to the consistency of cold butter.
- Top with strawberries (or other fruit) if desired.
