So sorry I don't have pictures for this guide! I was so involved in making the frosting that I forgot to take pictures! 😋

Step 2 of 5

Cream butter and shortening together until smooth, approx 3 minutes using a paddle attachment.

Step 3 of 5

Slowly add sugar, once all added crank up speed on mixer to med- high and whip it up for approx 1 min.

Step 4 of 5

Add milk, depending on your liking: stiffer~ less milk, creamier ~ more. If you add too much, no worries, just sift in a little more sugar.

Step 5 of 5
I did take a picture at the end! It turned out so good! You can use this frosting for cupcakes, brownies, cakes, just about anything!! Enjoy!

How much does this make? Will it be enough or too much to frost 12 cupcakes?
