Frosting Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Ensure that the cream cheese and butter are at *room temperature* before you begin. This helps achieve a smooth consistency. In a mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of cream cheese with 100 grams of butter.
Gradually add 200 grams of powdered sugar and 5 milliliters of vanilla extract. Mix until the frosting is *smooth and creamy*.
Step 2
Before applying the frosting, it’s important to check its consistency. Use a spatula to draw a line on a plate. If the line remains *smooth and uniform*, your frosting is ready. If it appears *broken or too thick*, warm the mixture slightly by placing it in the microwave for just *10 seconds*.
Be careful not to overheat it, or it will turn too runny.
Step 3
If you plan to write colorful text on a white cake, start with a *white layer* of frosting. After that, apply a second layer in the desired color on top of the white layer. This method prevents the colored writing from seeping into the white frosting, creating a *cleaner and more dimensional look*.
Step 4
As with any skill, practice is essential for achieving the best results. Remember, no one gets it perfect on their first try. The more you practice your frosting techniques, the *better your decorating skills* will become.
