The frosting is light, fluffy, and perfect for decorating desserts for birthdays, themed parties, or special occasions.

Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
1 tsp vanilla extract (or almond extract for variation)
½ to 1 tsp Natural Blue Food Color Water Soluble Extract (adjust to desired brightness)
Pinch of salt
Directions
Cream the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream (or milk), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Add Natural Blue Color: Slowly add the Natural Blue Food Color Water Soluble Extract, starting with ½ teaspoon. Mix until the frosting turns a bright, even shade of blue. Add more extract as needed to achieve your desired intensity.
Adjust Consistency: If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time. If too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
Decorate and Enjoy: Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. For best results, use a piping bag with your favorite nozzle for decorative swirls.
