INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla; mix well. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, beating until well blended after each addition, frequently scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Add milk; beat until light and fluffy.
  • 2 Divide frosting evenly into 2 separate bowls. Stir in food color from tips below to tint each bowl of frosting desired color. If frosting is too thick to spread after adding color, gradually stir in additional milk.
