Tips:
- Use fresh vanilla extract and almond extract. This will give your frosting the best flavor.
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature. This will help it cream together smoothly with the sugar.
- Beat the frosting on medium speed until it is light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the frosting and make it smooth and creamy.
- Gradually increase the speed of the mixer to high and beat for 2 minutes. This will help the frosting become stiff and hold its shape.
- If the frosting is too stiff, add a little bit of milk or cream. If the frosting is too thin, add a little bit of powdered sugar.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Vanilla and almond frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
