  Make butter icing: Using an electric mixer, beat butter until white and creamy. Add icing sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix well. Add enough milk to make icing spreadable. Cover surface of the icing with plastic wrap to prevent it drying out while you finish preparing cakes. Tint basic butter icing with pink food colouring until desired colour is reached.
