Equipment
Ingredients

Notes
Make the vanilla whipped cream frosting the day you plan on frosting your cake or cupcakes, or the day you plan on serving it.
Once piped onto a cake or cupcakes, the whipped cream can be chilled and will maintain shape for 1 to 2 days. Be sure to store the cake or cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
