Notes
Storage: Frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Let the frosting come to room temperature and briefly re-whip it with a stand mixer or electric hand mixer so that it's soft and fluffy before using.
Cakes or other desserts that have been decorated with frosting can be stored on a covered cake plate or stand at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
