1 bag (or 2 pounds, or about 7 cups) of powdered sugar
1 T. of flavoring (I use 2 t. of vanilla extract and 1 t. of almond, but you can mix to your liking)
Pinch salt (Yes, salt)
About 2 T. whipping cream
Directions
Take your butter out of your fridge in plenty of time to let it come to room temperature.
Now whip that butter. JUST the butter.
Before you add anything else to the bowl, whip that butter. Keep whipping a good 3-5 minutes.
Add in the flavoring of your choice and the pinch of salt and mix. Then start adding the powdered sugar a couple of cups at a time until it is all mixed in.
Drizzle in half of that whipping cream. Add half and check the consistency. Add the rest if you think it’s not too thin.
If you wish to color your frosting, I recommend gel color.
Whip that frosting until you think you’ve whipped it enough, and then keep that mixer on another minute or two.
Use a pastry bag and a decorating tip to frost.
