For the best results, ensure the butter is properly softened before creaming it with the sugar. Don't be tempted to rush the beating process at the end – this is crucial for achieving the light and fluffy texture. Feel free to experiment with different extracts! Almond, lemon, or even a hint of rose water can create unique and delicious flavor profiles. If the frosting appears curdled after adding the milk mixture, continue beating – it will come together. Ermine icing is best used on cakes that will be refrigerated, as it holds its shape well when chilled. If you want to use the Ermine Icing in warmer temperatures, try adding 2 oz of melted and cooled high-quality white chocolate to the finished frosting.
