  • Beat the frosting on medium speed for several minutes until it is light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it lighter and more spreadable.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thin, beat it for a few more minutes until it thickens.
  • If you are using the frosting to decorate a cake, chill it for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to firm up the frosting and make it easier to work with.
