For the best texture, ensure the butter is properly softened but not melted. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial to avoid lumps in your frosting. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. If the frosting is too thin, add more confectioners' sugar, one tablespoon at a time. This frosting can be flavored with other extracts, such as almond or lemon, to customize the taste.
