Icing
-
In a clean bowl, combine the butter, icing sugar, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract and salt until fluffy. If too thick, add a little more milk. Stir in beetroot powder until you have the colour you desire.

Using a piping bag, ice the cupcakes with a thin layer of icing, smooth with a knife, pipe a line in the middle of the cupcake and on either side create a wiggly line (see picture). Repeat until all cupcakes are iced then enjoy!
