Frosting Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered (icing) sugar
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk + extra as needed
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles (or to taste)
Instructions
- Soften Butter: Let the butter soften on the counter. This step is crucial because softened butter blends smoothly with sugar to create the perfect frosting texture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Using an electric hand mixer, blend on low speed until the mixture reaches a fluffy, frosting consistency. If it feels too thick, add a little milk or water gradually to thin it out.
- Add Sprinkles: Once the frosting is the desired smoothness, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles by mixing or stirring them in evenly.
- Use or Store: Frost your cupcakes or cookies as desired. If not using immediately, store the frosting in a cool place, such as the refrigerator, to prevent it from becoming melty.
Notes
- Ensure butter is fully softened for best mixing results.
- Add liquid gradually to control the frosting’s consistency.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using again.
- Adjust sprinkle amount according to taste preference.
