Making your own white frosting is a snap and uses ingredients you probably have on hand.
Combine 4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 1 to 2 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat until blended. Start with 1 tablespoon milk and add enough additional to get the consistency of frosting you like. Makes enough frosting for 30 cupcakes or one 2-layer cake.
If you’re looking for a different flavor, instead of the almond extract try another extract (vanilla, mint, etc.), rum, instant coffee granules dissolved in a few tablespoons hot water, or lemon or orange juice and grated zest.
