Notes
Cooling: Once the cake or cupcakes have been frosted, let them set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This process helps the frosting to set and become more firm.
Room Temperature: For the preparation of the frosting, it’s best to use ingredients that are at room temperature. This contributes to a smoother and more uniform texture.
Sifting: Pass the dry ingredients through a sieve to eliminate any lumps or impurities. This step ensures a smooth and perfect frosting.
