Add 3 cups confectioners\u2019 sugar, vanilla, coconut extract (if using) and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1\/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frost cooled cupcakes however you\u2019d like.
