Step 4

BUTTER CREAM FROSTING: In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with paddle attachment beat butter and shortening together for 4-5 minutes until pale and fluffy.

Reduce speed to slow and gradually add powdered sugar, beat until incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl if required. Add vanilla extract.

Add heavy cream and beat until fluffy. Add in food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.

Step 7
