Notes
This will generously frost 2 dozen cupcakes (with some to spare) or lightly frost 3 dozen cupcakes.
For a thicker and sweeter frosting, add another one to two cups of powdered sugar. Transfer leftover frosting into an airtight container.
Storage: Refrigerate the container immediately after use. Use within one week or freeze for up to 2 to 3 months.
