Note

Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature and stir before using again.

If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time. If it is too thick, add evaporated milk, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

This frosting is best applied when cakes or cupcakes are completely cooled to prevent melting. It works well as a filling or a final topping.
