Steps:
- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream butter until smooth, but not airy. Add milk, vanilla and salt and mix to incorporate.
- Sift powdered sugar over the butter mixture. Mix until incorporated and smooth. Do not overmix, to avoid air pockets in your frosting.
- Divide the frosting and add gel food coloring as desired.
- Use a piping bag fitted with desired tip to pipe flowers onto parchment paper. Freeze the flowers for at least 20 minutes.
- Use a knife to lift frozen flowers from parchment and onto a frosted cake. Arrange as desired.
- Enjoy!

[email protected]This frosting is a bit runny, but it still tastes good. I think I'll add a little more powdered sugar next time to thicken it up.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of this frosting. It's too sweet for my taste, and it's not as creamy as I would like. I think I'll stick to my old frosting recipe.

[email protected]I made this frosting for the first time last week and it was a disaster. It was too thin and runny, and it didn't pipe well at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I'm definitely not going to try this recipe again.
