Cupcake frosting= stress!!!!

[jemima]

Oh my!! I just took the frosting out of the fridge and it is quite hard - far too hard to even attempt to ice the cupcakes. WHAT SHOULD I DO

I still need to colour the frosting and it is way too hard to mix in the colour.

AHHH!!

Start mixing it rapidly and it will soften, maybe even give it a few sconds in the microwave

It should be ok in a while if you sit it somewhere at room temprature.
You might be able to speed it up a bit by sitting the bowl in warm water.

ETA -and what MrsMac said - stirring will help too...

Thank you all so much for your help.

They were perfect!!

I am so happy with how they turned out. I will try and post a photo in the gallery.

Thanks again!!
