Notes
– If the consistency of your icing is too thin, add some more powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time) to thicken it.– If the consistency of your icing is too thick, add some more mango puree (1 tbsp at a time) to thin it out.– This frosting is enough for filling and icing one 8×2 cake or 24 cupcakes.
