Instructions

  1. Beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla.  Add the milk a little at a time until you’ve reached the desired consistency (you may not need to add all 5 Tablespoons).Mix in the food coloring.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap the vanilla extract for other flavor extracts, but take caution that most are a bit more potent than vanilla, so start with a teaspoon and work your way up, it's always best to start with too little and add more. The same goes with food coloring!
