EditGalaxy Cream Cheese Frosting
- Beat together the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl. Blend well on high speed for about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add two cups of the confectioners' sugar at a time. Blend for an additional 2-3 minutes on medium high speed. Mix between each stir until the frosting comes out smooth with no confectioners' sugar streaks.
- Divide the frosting into 4 medium-sized bowls.
- Add the food coloring gel. Add in 3 drops of dark blue, 2 drops of purple, and 1 drop of pink and light blue. Stir with a clean spoon into each bowl. Mix until the color is bright and vibrant.
- Sprinkle edible glitter or disco dust to the frosting. Mix with a spoon until fully combined.
- Scoop the different colored frosting into a frosting pipe. Spoon a tablespoon at a time of each color until no frosting remains and the frosting pipe is full.
- For easier handling, place the frosting pipe in a tall glass to prevent gel food coloring stains on other objects.
- Serve. Pipe the galaxy frosting onto your favorite desserts for a galactic effect. Enjoy!

EditTips
- Consider adding star-shaped and pearl sprinkles in the frosting for a more galactic look.
- Do note when you scoop the frosting colors in a piping bag, the thinner the food coloring gel is, the lighter the colors will appear in the frosting. [4]
- For stiff buttercream frosting, replace the butter with shortening. [5]
EditWarnings
- Avoid using the same spoon used to mix or scoop frosting from another color. The colors will combine together, coming out with gray-like look and won't look like a galaxy.
- Do not substitute the food coloring gel with liquid food dye. The amount will have to be increased, causing the frosting to come out runny.
