Tips:

For a smooth and lump-free frosting, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
To achieve a light and fluffy texture, gradually beat the butter and shortening until it becomes pale and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent lumps.
For a richer flavor, use high-quality butter and vanilla extract.
Customize the frosting by adding a variety of flavorings, such as cocoa powder, fruit extracts, or spices.
For a glossy finish, stir in a tablespoon of milk or cream at the end.
If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream to thin it out.
