Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk.
  • Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Frosts 13x9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts an 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake.

EXTRA SPECIAL BUTTERCREAM ICING

This is the best buttercream icing I have ever tasted. I used it for my daughter's wedding cake. I made a double batch, which was enough to ice, border, and pipe small decorations on the sides of the cake for a 14" x 10" x 6" tiered cake. I think the whipping cream is the secret to making this icing special.

Steps:

  • Cream butter and shortening until fluffy.
  • Add sugar, meringue powder, about half of the cream, and continue creaming until well blended.
  • Add salt, flavorings and enough whipping cream to make the consistency you need.
  • Beat at medium speed until icing is fluffy.
  • You may substitute all shortening for the butter, which will give a pure white icing, but the flavor will not be quite as good.
  • I used butter and real vanilla and the icing turned out a very pale ivory, which I personally prefer to a stark-white icing.
  • The meringue powder gives the icing a light crust, but it remains soft underneath.
