Hi! 2 sticks of butter is equal to 1 cup. 🙂 Thanks!

Hi there…

I am from South Africa and I normally measure with cups… what does 2 sticks of butter equal to?

That is correct, just add the powder – not made jello. I’ll add clarification to the recipe for this as well – thank you!

Great question! Yes, I did use gel food coloring for this recipe. It really helps achieve those vibrant, bright colors that make the dish pop. I highly recommend it for the best results!

A small box works perfectly.

Step 3, you fold it in gradually

Hey there! Sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your icing being too liquidy. Here are a few suggestions to help you thicken it up:

Add more powdered sugar: Gradually mix in additional powdered sugar into the icing until you reach the desired consistency. This will help absorb some of the excess moisture.

Chill the icing: Pop the icing into the refrigerator for a little while to allow it to firm up. The colder temperature should help thicken it.

Use cornstarch or flour: If adding more powdered sugar doesn’t quite do the trick, you can try incorporating a small amount of cornstarch or flour into your icing to help thicken it up gradually. Start with a teaspoon at a time and mix well until you achieve the desired thickness.

Remember, it’s important to make these adjustments gradually to avoid making the icing too sweet or compromising the flavor. Good luck, and I hope your cupcakes turn out deliciously!
