Electric Mixer

Ingredients

1 cup butter softened
3 cups powdered sugar
2-3 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup sprinkles

Instructions

Using a stand mixer or electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the butter for 2-3 minutes on high speed.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl. On low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until it is all combined scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream until it reaches the right consistency. Whip on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles until they are evenly mixed.
Cover the frosting or store in an airtight container until ready to use on your favorite cakes, cupcakes or cookies. Makes 5 cups of frosting.

Notes

This frosting can be piped with only a large piping tip, the smaller one will get blocked with the sprinkles.
For longer storage, refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze for up to two months. Always let the frosting come to room temperate and re-whip before use.
If you want a themed cake, like for a baby shower or holiday, simply add different colors of sprinkles to your icing. For example, blue or pink for a baby shower, green and red for Christmas, black and orange for Halloween, etc.
