Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Makes enough for one 2-layer 9-inch cake or 2 dozen cupcakes*

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
6 to 8 cups confectioners’ sugar
? cup milk or less, depends upon thickness desired
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Place the butter in a large mixing bow and beat until fluffyl!. Add 4 cups of the sugar and then half the milk and vanilla!. On the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes!. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition (about 2 minutes), until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency!. You may not need to add all of the milk!. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly!. (Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled!.) Icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days!.

Use a pkg of room temp!. cream cheese and a small pkg of powdered sugar!. Mix well and spread on!. (or you could substitute room temp butter or even shortnening instead of cream cheese)

Or you can just take a bag of powdered sugar add a very tiny amount of water (try on teaspoon at a time) until it reaches a glaze consistancy!.

I dont know measurements since I have always eyeballed it til it looked like the right consistency!.

Have fun and good luck!
