Step-by-step
- In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add confectioners' sugar, cream, vanilla extract, and salt with the mixer running on low.
- Increase to high speed and beat for 3 full minutes.
- Add 2-3 more Tablespoons of confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin, 1 more Tablespoon cream if frosting is too thick, or a pinch more salt if frosting is way too sweet.
- Spoon 1/3 of the frosting into a separate bowl.
- Stir in a couple drops of coloring, depending how dark you want the color. I used 2 drops fuchsia.
- Spread the colored frosting around the edges of a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M tip.
- Spoon the uncolored vanilla frosting in the center.
- Twist the open end shut and squeeze the frosting down to the tip.
- Squeeze a bit of the frosting out onto a plate until both the colored and the white frosting are coming out together-- or just do this on a cupcake. It will be mostly colored frosting!
- Place the tip directly on top of the center of the cupcake.
- Using steady and medium pressure, pipe a tight spiral around the cupcake.
- Lessen some pressure as you come to the end.
- Place some sprinkles on top of the end if it turns out messy. It happens, trust me!
