fun with frosting

I love icing. I really do. LOVE. ICING.

And those people who just don't really like icing.? Huh? What?...that I do not understand. (cough Dallas cough.) But I accept you anyways. and it actually works out, because it just means more icing for me. (insert John Bender fist pump here)

So I found this color chart which has drop-for-drop instructions on how to create really adorable cupcake icing colors using a basic box of food coloring. Fun right? So today I decided to have some fun with it using a really great buttercream frosting recipe I nabbed (thanks Maureesa!)

Recipe:
1 c butter softened and beaten
3 1/2 c icing sugar
1 tsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt

I chose to try out the colors "mint chip" and "strawberry shake". They both turned out a little brighter than expected which was likely because I halved the frosting recipe.



How it went: 




VOILA. Yummy and pretty treats for FHE! Happy Monday everyone.
