How to Make Creamy Vanilla Frosting
- In a medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt, and beat until well combined.
- If the frosting is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream until desired consistency is reached.
- Divide the frosting into three equal portions.
- For the pink peppermint frosting: Add red food coloring and peppermint extract to one portion of frosting, mixing until desired color and flavor are achieved.
- For the green frosting: Add green food coloring to another portion of frosting, mixing until desired color is achieved.
