For the best results, ensure your butter is properly softened but not melted. It should be pliable and yield easily to pressure. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free frosting. If you want to adjust the flavor, try adding a pinch of lemon zest, a tablespoon of cocoa powder, or a dash of your favorite liqueur. This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let it come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
