Ingredients
One
16-ounce package
powdered sugar
6
tablespoons (¾ a stick)
butter,
softened
3 to 4
tablespoons
milk
1½
teaspoons
vanilla extract
⅛
teaspoon
salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, with a mixer at low speed, beat all ingredients until the icing is smooth and of easy spreading consistency.
To color pink, add a few drops of red food coloring, 3 for light pink, 6 or more for dark pink. Same goes for any other color (light to dark).
Spread the icing onto cake or cupcakes (if you use a piping bag instead of spreading, you may not have enough to ice 24 cupcakes).
