AWWWW Laura. You’re the best. Love you. <3

Hi Kelsi – in my grocery store it comes in a small glass jar and is right in the baking area where they carry the pure vanilla extract. The kind I have is by Nielsen Massey and is labeled “pure vanilla bean paste” and is in a little 4 oz. jar. I hope you can find it wherever you are, it’s a nice touch in all kinds of baked goods. I know you can get it online through Amazon or King Arthur Flour. GOOD LUCK and hope you love this recipe!

P.S. – If you try adding the flour, just add 1/2 teaspoon at a time and thoroughly mix with a hand held electric mixer. Keep adding 1/2 teaspoon (and mixing with electric mixer afterwards) until you get the consistency you want.

Hmmm… just seeing this now Vicki. There’s not a typo in the recipe, I just checked. Not sure why yours is runny. I’m assuming you did use powdered sugar, right? Since you have a pastry bag it sounds like you must be pretty experienced with frosting, but just making sure. I might try chilling it for a bit and see if it firms up. If not, I wld prob. add more powdered (confectioner) sugar. There aren’t too many other options. I hope you can get it to work. I have also heard of using flour to thicken frosting, but use it very sparingly as you don’t want the frosting to have a starchy taste. I would prob. add powdered sugar though. Powdered sugar contains corn starch which is also a thickener. Best wishes, I hope it works for you!

Oh yay!!! I hope he loves these, sweet Christy – and that you all have a wonderful Easter together!!! XO
