    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix the butter, icing sugar and milk together until smooth and fluffy. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

Notes

  • I used Cake Decor's wafer snowflakes but you can make your own by piping royal icing or white chocolate snowflake shapes onto baking paper. Leave to dry then peel them off the baking paper.
