Tips for the best Marshmallow Frosting:

• We like to use piping bags and decorative bags and then toss when finish. Using piping bags makes easy to frost the cupcakes and easy cleanup.
• Use a stand mixer to beat the powdered sugar and butter. It makes is so much easier than doing it by hand. I do recommend mixing in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla by hand.
• Remember if you frosting is to thin add more powdered sugar slowly. But if it is to thick you can thin it out with milk.
• Do not substitute melted marshmallows for marshmallow fluff. It will change the texture and the frosting will not set.
• Always make sure the butter is fully softened. This helps it to mix well with the powdered sugar.
• If you are using milk, make sure you are adding in a little at time.
• We do not recommend freezing this frosting. It works best if you use it after making it or storing in the refrigerator for a few days.

How to thicken the frosting?

If you find that your frosting ends up being to thin, add in some powdered sugar. We start with about a tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time. Then stir in the additional powdered sugar if needed.

You might need to add a little each time to get the consistency that you want.
