This creamy vanilla buttercream frosting is perfect for cakes and cupcakes, offering a smooth and delightful topping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, and salt.
Start mixing on low speed to prevent the powdered sugar from puffing out.
Increase the mixer speed to high and beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing.
Add the vanilla extract and milk to the mixture and continue beating until smooth and creamy.
Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed, one teaspoon at a time.
Spread the frosting over cooled cupcakes or cakes using a knife, or transfer it to a pastry bag for decorative piping.
For a professional look, use a star-shaped piping tip.
Enjoy your beautifully frosted desserts!
Serve immediately or store for later use.
