I make a buttercream frosting wilton’s website has a decent basic recipe and add more powdered sugar to the recipe if you need a more stiff consistency. Also I find that an ice bath helps. So sometimes i will put the frosting in a glass bowl, and I will put that bowl in a bigger one full of water and ice to keep it cool. Or if I am working with a pastry bag in particular I will put them in the freezer to cool quickly as I frost. By the time I’m ready for that color it’s good to go. Here are a few pictures of random frosting things i’ve done. there’s a pic of a purple/ppink one I just used a decorating tip and filled my pastry bag with a spoon of pink then purple and so forth until it was full. Later on I did the same thing with Orange and Pink, the two colors blended nicely and were part of the theme with my cousin’s dholki. The first set of roses on cupcakes didn’t turn out well bc the frosting was not of a stiffer consistency but if you see the purple and red ones you will the the huge difference an ice bath and more powdered sugar will do:

This is great!
