Preparation Steps

Step 3: Mix in the Milk

Step 4: Add the Color
  1. Add a few drops of blue food coloring. Mix until you reach your desired shade of blue. Feel free to add more for a bolder color!
Step 5: Taste and Adjust
  1. Taste your frosting. If you want it sweeter, add a bit more powdered sugar. If it’s too sweet, a tiny pinch of salt can balance it out!
Step 6: Frost Your Desserts
