this is probably a silly question but....how do i make the frosting off white....?????

You could go and get a little jar of wilton ivory food color from your local craft store. Just put a little bit on a toothpick and put it into the icing. Mix it up.. you can always add more color. Just start with a new fresh toothpick so that you can keep your color pot fresh.

Hope this helps.

You might even be able to put a little bit of regular vanilla into it. (instead of clear vanilla).
