Tips:

- For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - For a boozy frosting, add 1/4 cup of your favorite liqueur, such as rum, brandy, or bourbon. - If you want a stiffer frosting, beat it for a few minutes longer until it reaches the desired consistency. - If you are using the frosting to fill a cake or cupcakes, make sure it is completely cooled before using it. - For a fun and festive touch, top your frosted cakes or cupcakes with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or grated chocolate.
