Instructions 

  • Mixing: Add the softened butter to the bowl of the stand mixer. Add the powdered sugar and turn the mixer on speed 1, letting the sugar slowly work into the butter.
  • Creaming: Turn the speed up to high and let the butter and powdered sugar mix until light and fluffy, this should take about 5 minutes. After each minute, turn off the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl with the rubber spatula to ensure all the butter is well blended in.
  • Flavor: Add the vanilla extract, salt and milk to the fluffy butter mix. Turn the mixer on low to incorporate the ingredients.
  • Decorate: Add any food coloring desired then use the buttercream on cakes, cupcakes or anything you’d like!
