This was very easy to make! Definitely double the recipe as it didn't make a lot. Used it for Karin's 40th birthday cake.

This is the same recipe that I have been using for 50 + years from my mother's Betty Crocker cookbook. When I want chocolate frosting I just add cocoa powder. I have never tried using it as my decorator frosting but now that I know other's have used it for decorating, I will try it. It's a lot easier to remember how to make this than regular decorator frosting using Crisco (which I don't keep around any more.)

This icing was pretty good. I used it on snickerdoodle cupcakes and threw in (a little too much) cinnamon sugar and it was very light but very sweet(probably due to the cinnamon sugar). Next time I will mix mine more and use a little less milk because it was not as fluffy as I had liked. I love that it uses all butter though.

This is my favorite buttercream frosting. It's simple to make and never fails. I follow the recipe exactly except I sometimes add a little extra vanilla or sugar. I most recently used this to frost Red Velvet Cupcakes from this site (the recipe that uses instant chocolate pudding) and it was perfect for piping on the cupcakes.

Tastes amazing - but the butter separated after I added my colouring. I am thinking I over whipped it, but will try again soon.

THE BEST!!!! I've never liked buttercream frosting because it's usually too sweet and greasy tasting for me, but this is absolutely MARVELOUS! Not too sweet, delicate flavor, and light. This is now my recipe to cover all upcoming birthday cakes. No more canned frosting for me. There is no comparison between the two.

I looked high and low for a buttercream recipe without shortening. This one is perfection. Will use again and again.
