Whipped Vanilla Frostin
 
 
Ingredients
  • 3 sticks butter, at room temperature, cut into chunks
  • 3 1/2 cups confectioners (powdered) sugar
  • 3 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • Wilton Violet Food Coloring/Icing Gel
  • Wilton Teal Food Coloring/Icing Gel
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whip the butter for 8 minutes on medium speed (#4 on a KitchenAid). Note: Make sure to set the timer and go the full 8 minutes. During this time the butter changes texture, becomes lighter in color and very fluffy.
  2. On low speed, add the remaining ingredients, blending for another minute. Turn the mixer back up to medium speed and blend for 6 minutes more. This frosting is so whipped and fluffy, it is best used right away for spreading consistency.
  3. Divide the frosting into three bowls, with a slightly greater amount for your top color. This color was made using Wilton Violet. Tint the bottom layer’s frosting with Wilton Teal, then tint the middle layer also with the Teal color, just make sure it’s lighter in shade.
Notes
I would make an extra 1/2 - 1 batch of icing to allow for more filling for a layer cake.
