Chef's Notes
Listen to the whisk, my friends! If your frosting feels too dense, a solitary drop of milk will restore its majestic composure.
Pro Tip
Sift your confectioners' sugar beforehand unless you enjoy playing hide-and-seek with gritty sugar lumps in your dessert.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dump all five cups of confectioners' sugar into the unblended fats at maximum speed, and watch in sheer horror as a localized snowstorm of sugar engulfs your entire kitchen and ruins your dignity.

Pastry & Confectionery Stabilization
Storage Science
Cakes and soft desserts should be wrapped tightly to prevent moisture loss and stored at room temperature (if no perishable fillings) or refrigerated. Consume within 3 days.
Reheating Science
Serve at room temperature for optimal flavor perception, as cold mutes sweetness. If it's a baked pastry, flash-heat in a 350Β°F (175Β°C) oven for 3-5 minutes to restore the butter matrix and crispness.
