Tips for Perfecting Your Homemade Frostings
To achieve the perfect frosting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps them blend smoothly. Gradually add powdered sugar to avoid a grainy texture, and taste as you go to adjust sweetness. If your frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream. For a more stable frosting, especially in warm weather, refrigerate it for a few minutes before using.
