Ingredients

  • 250 g butter, unsalted
  • 500 g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pink food paste colouring

Method

Place in the butter and icing sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix on a low speed, to prevent the icing sugar from going everywhere. When the frosting starts to incorporate, turn the mixer up to a higher speed and mix for 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix through.

Place the icing in seperate bowl and add a small amount of paste colouring using a cocktail stick. Mix together and add more to achieve the colour you'd like.
