For a glossy finish, add a tiny drop of light corn syrup to the frosting. If the frosting becomes too thin, add more sifted confectioners' sugar, a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Gel food coloring is recommended for richer, more vibrant colors. Liquid food coloring may slightly thin the frosting. Store the frosting in airtight containers to prevent drying out. If frosting hardens slightly, add a tiny amount of milk and stir until smooth.
