2. Add the sugar
Gradually add confectioners' sugar to the butter, mixing well after each addition.

Add in milk or heavy cream and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well combined. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk. If it is too thin, add more sugar.
4. Add food coloring
For a festive touch, add a few drops of food coloring and mix until you achieve your desired color.
