2nd�.Frosting Tips from Taste of Home:
Tip: Tint It!:
Tint white frosting with liquid, gel or paste food coloring. Liquid will give a pastel color; gel and paste give a deeper color. Add a little at a time, stir in and check the color. You can always add more, but it's hard to lighten the color. The color generally darkens as the frosting dries. �Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Tip: Spreading & Decorating:
Frosting needs to be just the right consistency for spreading and decorating. If it's too thin, add a little confectioners' sugar. If it's too thick, add a little milk. �Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Tip: Easy Cream Cheese Frosting:
I blend an 8-ounce package of cream cheese into a 16-ounce can of prepared frosting. It enhances the flavor, reduces the sweetness and increases the amount of frosting. Try it with any flavor. �Edith B., Peoria, Illinois
Tip: Smooth It Out:
The best way to ensure smooth frosting is to sift the confectioners' sugar before adding it to the softened butter. Beating with an electric mixer will also help to produce a velvety frosting. �Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Tip: Semi-Homemade Frosting:
Don't have the time to make homemade frosting? Mix a can of store-bought frosting (any flavor) with an 8-ounce container of whipped topping. The result is so soft, creamy and easy to spread that everyone will think you made traditional cooked 7-minute frosting. �Sheila S., Eleanor, West Virginia
Tip: Quick Cupcakes:
To quickly frost cupcakes, place frosting in a bowl. The frosting should be a soft, spreadable consistency. If it is too stiff, add milk a teaspoon at a time until it reaches desired consistency. Dip top of cupcake into the frosting, twist slightly and lift up. �Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Frosting:
It's super important to make sure the whipped cream cheese is truly at room temperature before you use it. If not, it chills the softened butter and makes for lumpy frosting. �Jeanne Ambrose, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
