Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups butter, softened (no substitutions)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 6 cups powdered sugar (approximately)
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Creaming the Butter and Extracts Begin by placing the softened butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla and almond extracts. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Step 2: Gradually Add Powdered Sugar Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, to the butter mixture. Continue mixing on low speed, ensuring each addition is well incorporated before adding the next. Adjust the quantity of powdered sugar to reach your desired consistency.
- Step 3: Adjusting the Consistency If the frosting becomes too thick, add a splash of milk. Mix well until the desired creamy texture is achieved.
- Step 4: Adding Colors For those who want a burst of color, now is the time to add the food coloring. Add a few drops, and mix thoroughly to achieve an even color. You can divide the frosting into different bowls and use various colors to make a vibrant assortment.
- Step 5: Decorating Once your frosting is ready, you can use it to decorate your baked goods. Utilize a spatula or a piping bag for intricate designs. If you don’t have a piping bag, a sturdy Ziploc bag with a corner cut off can also serve as an alternative.
