I've made wedding cakes for 15 years. I use box mixes but created my own frosting recipe. It has a nice flavor, plus it pipes and sets up well. I used this frosting on the cake when our daughter, Delores, married cowboy Les Jensen.

Tips for Making the Perfect Bridal Cake Frosting:

  • If you're using a stand mixer, start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as you add the sugar.
  • Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, to avoid lumps.
  • For a fluffy frosting, beat in some air by whipping the frosting for several minutes.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or water until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • For a flavored frosting, add in some extracts, spices, or other flavorings.
  • For a colored frosting, add in some food coloring.
  • To decorate the cake, pipe the frosting onto the cake using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
  • You can also use the frosting to fill the cake layers or to make a crumb coat.
