FAQ

Can I use food coloring gels instead of liquid food coloring?
Yes, gel food coloring works best because it gives vibrant color without thinning the frosting.

How do I get my frosting extra fluffy?
Beat it on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes at the end. This whips in air and gives that cloud-like texture.

Can I freeze this frosting?
Absolutely—place it in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then re-whip before using.

Will this frosting hold up for piping designs?
Yes, it’s sturdy enough for swirls and rosettes, but keep in mind it’s a softer frosting than stiff buttercream, so intricate details may not hold as sharply.

What desserts does Enchanted Fluff Frosting pair best with?
It’s amazing on cupcakes, sugar cookies, layer cakes, and even as a filling between sandwich cookies. Basically, if it needs frosting, this one works.
