Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. Sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until it becomes light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.

Gradually add the finely powdered sugar to the creamed butter. Mix on low speed initially to prevent the sugar from creating a cloud. Once incorporated, increase the speed to medium and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth.

Add the table salt to the butter and sugar mixture. Salt enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.

Pour in the drops of pure vanilla extract. This adds a delightful aromatic essence to the frosting.

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the fresh cream to the mixture. Ensure the cream is added slowly to prevent splattering. Continue mixing until the frosting achieves a silky and smooth consistency.

Depending on your desired consistency, you can add more cream if a softer texture is preferred or more powdered sugar if a firmer texture is desired.

To achieve the gold shimmer, add the Gold Luster or Gold Color to the frosting. Start with a small amount and gradually add until the desired level of elegance is reached. Mix well to evenly distribute the gold color.

Beat the frosting on medium-high speed for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is well incorporated and the frosting is fluffy.

Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness or saltiness according to your preference.
