1. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of your electric mixer.
2. Beat on high for 5 minutes if you're using an electric stand mixer or for 10 minutes if you're
using an electric hand mixer. (If your mixer has multiple attachments, use the PADDLE)
3. When you reach the desired consistency, it's important that you immediately cover the mixture of store it in airtight containers.
** You can always add more confectioner's sugar or water if your icing is too runny or stiff.
