For buttercream, i use this recipe:
50g of butter
100g of sieved icing sugar
A few drops of flavouring/colouring if required!.
Method:
Cream the fat, gradually add the icing sugar and then cream together!. Then add the flavouring or the colouring drop by drop!.
Alternatively you can use glace icing which is a little lighter:
100g sieved icing sugar
1 tablespoon of warm water
Gradually add the water to the icing sugar drop by drop and stir until smooth!. The more water you add the runnier it will be and vice versa!.
Then add flavouring or colouring if required!.

Having tried many over the years this is the one I come back to every time!. Don't let the Heavy Cream fool you, this is sooooo easy!! I sometimes mix it up and use Almond Extrac instead of the vanilla, depending on the cake!.
