Time 15m

Yield 1 frosting

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 -4 tablespoons whole milk, divided
food coloring or food coloring, pastes

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, shortening, vanilla and 3 tablespoons milk in a mixing bowl; beat until smooth.
  • Gradually add the remaining sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add enough remaining milk and food coloring until frosting reaches desired color and consistency.
  • •food coloring pastes are much stronger than regular food coloring--a little food coloring paste goes a long way and it also doesn't thin out your frosting like regular food coloring can.
