    So my frosting turned out super dry (consistency of a playdogh. I ended up doubling amount of butter to get it to pipe. And still looks crumbly.

    How much powdered sugar and vanilla do you put in the frosting? I made the frosting tonight and it sucked! Need to put how much vanilla and powdered sugar. So disappointed I will probably never make this again
