Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, milk, and eggs, not margarine, powdered milk, or egg substitutes.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start mixing them together. This will help them to blend smoothly and create a light and fluffy frosting.
- Don't overbeat the frosting. Overbeating can cause the frosting to become stiff and grainy.
- If you're using a food processor to make the frosting, be careful not to overprocess it. Overprocessing can also cause the frosting to become stiff and grainy.
- If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
- If the frosting is too thin, you can add a little bit of powdered sugar to thicken it up.
- Taste the frosting before you use it. If it's not sweet enough, you can add more sugar.
- If you want a different flavor of frosting, you can add different extracts, such as vanilla, almond, or lemon.
