Beat the butter for 5 minutes until it has become light and airy, doubled in size and lost most of it's colour. Start adding the icing sugar half a cup at a time, beating for about a minute in between each addition. Use the milk to thin out the consistency of the icing, add it a teaspoon at a time. This is also the time to add any flavourings or colourings that you would like. This icing can last in the fridge for a few weeks or the freezer for 3 months. When you are ready to use just let it get back up to room temperature. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - iHerb http://www.iherb.com/ Use the code PJQ118 for $10 off your first order. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ FOLLOW ME Twitter - https://twitter.com/carstina Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/carstinaxx Instagram - http://instagram.com/carstina Tumblr - http://carstina.tumblr.com/ Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/carstina/ Email - carstina93@gmail.com _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Camera & Lighting Setup Video - http://youtu.be/p0SWv3OKVes Camera I use - Canon 600D http://bit.ly/CanonSLR600D Editing - Final Cut Pro _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Disclaimer - Some of these may be affiliated links.
