Add vanilla extract and continue mixing until incorporated.

Optional:
Use food coloring to add a bit of color to your frosting. You can also split the frosting and only add color to some of the frosting.

This is a personal preference, I’m going to split mine.

I added 24 drops of red to half of the batter, mixing with a spoon.
