Step 1

In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream butter until smooth, but not airy. Add milk, vanilla and salt and mix to incorporate.

Step 2

Sift powdered sugar over the butter mixture. Mix until incorporated and smooth. Do not overmix, to avoid air pockets in your frosting.

Step 3

Divide the frosting and add gel food coloring as desired.

Step 4

Use a piping bag fitted with desired tip to pipe flowers onto parchment paper. Freeze the flowers for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Use a knife to lift frozen flowers from parchment and onto a frosted cake. Arrange as desired.

Step 6

Enjoy!
