Notes
You can probably whip it up by hand, but it will take so much longer. Using an electric mixer speeds up the process and keeps you from wearing out.
Don't just add all the milk at once. Add it into the frosting slowly until it is completely incorporated into the frosting.
Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
