Do you have any pointers for making frosting in the right consistency? My mom just got me some frosting tips!

let my butter sit out as long as possible and whip it in my KitchenAid until it’s super light and almost white. Then I slowly add powdered sugar (I use less since I don’t like it too sweet) and a little vanilla. For the flowers, I pipe them on parchment, chill them to firm up, then place them on the cake. Some of them are placed straight on the cake though.

I have not grown the confidence to start handwriting on a cake yet 😭
