Mint Frosting
This frosting combines powdered sugar, softened butter, and mint extract for a creamy, spreadable icing with fresh mint flavor. Milk is added gradually to achieve the desired consistency, and green food coloring gives a classic minty appearance. The texture is smooth and fluffy, suitable for decorating cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts with a cooling taste and festive look.
