Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

  2. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar to the butter, mixing on low speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, continuing to mix on low speed.

  4. To reach your desired consistency, drizzle in the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time, mixing on low speed.

  5. If desired, divide the butter icing into separate bowls and stir in a few drops of food coloring to each bowl until you achieve the desired shades.

  6. Once your fairy cakes have cooled completely, transfer the butter icing to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip, or use a butter knife to frost each cake generously.

  7. Optionally, decorate with edible glitter, sugar pearls, or rainbow sprinkles on top of the butter icing.

  8. Allow the butter icing to set before serving.
