Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial to prevent lumps in your frosting. Adjust the amount of confectioners' sugar to your preference. Add more for a sweeter and thicker frosting, or less for a tangier flavor. If your frosting becomes too soft, add a tablespoon of confectioners' sugar at a time until you reach the desired consistency. If it becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream. For a flavored frosting, try adding a pinch of citrus zest, a tablespoon of fruit puree, or a dash of spice like cinnamon or nutmeg.
