Notes
You can add unsweetened cocoa powder to this recipe to make chocolate cream cheese buttercream frosting. Add about 1/4 of a cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the recipe. Keep tasting the frosting to get the perfect chocolatey flavor you prefer.
If you need a lemon-flavored frosting, add a squirt or 2 of lemon juice to this recipe for a zesty lemon-flavored taste. Add the lemon juice a little at a time, then taste the frosting for your desired preference.
For thicker frosting, add a little more powdered sugar until you like how thick it is. If you accidentally added too much powdered sugar, then add more milk.
For thinner frosting, slowly add a little more milk until you get the perfect consistency you like. If you added too much milk, then just add more powdered sugar.
