Tips for making good frosting cupcakes

Make sure that the ingredients you use for making frosting cupcakes such as milk and butter are all fresh. This will help you avoid getting a thin frosting that you can’t hold its shape well.
If you want to make your frosting cupcakes much quicker, put a large bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes, and then you can put the icing in it. This will help keep it firm when you are making frosting cupcakes.
The frosting should be soft in order to be easily spread on the cupcakes.
If you find that frosting is too solid and stiff, you can add a tablespoon of milk until you get the consistency you like.
Be keen that you don’t use too much liquid in your frosting in order to get a thick icing for your frosting cupcakes.
If you find that your icing is somehow thin, you can put it in the fridge to make it a little bit stiff or you can add some powdered sugar
