Using an electric mixer, beat on the lowest speed, until just combined. (Low speed is recommended because the sugar can "poof" out all over otherwise.)

* Step 3

Add the vanilla and 5 tablespoons of the milk or cream.

* Step 4

Keep blending until everything is smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.

* Step 5

Increase the mixer speed to medium, then to high once the liquid has been incorporated.

* Step 6

Add more milk or cream 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to reach desired consistency.

* Step 7

*I usually start with 7 tablespoons of the milk or cream and add more depending on what consistency I'm looking for.*

* Step 8

**This recipe makes enough frosting to frost two 9 inch layers or 24 cupcakes.**

* Step 9

***The frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. You should let it come to room temperature though before attempting to spread it on a cake. You will also want to beat the frosting with a spoon or an electric mixer after it warms to room temperature, and maybe add a tablespoon or more of milk, which will make it smoother and easier to spread.***
