For the whitest frosting, use a high-ratio shortening. Sifting the confectioners' sugar prevents lumps and ensures a smooth finish. If your frosting is too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. If your frosting is too thin, add confectioners' sugar one tablespoon at a time. For a different flavor, substitute vanilla extract or another extract of your choice for the almond extract. The frosting can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.

Mar 4, 2025My frosting came out a little too soft, but I think I added too much milk. I will be more careful next time!
