1 lb (app 4 C) powdered sugar
1/2 C butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 TB milk
food coloring, optional
In a large bowl, beat together sugar, butter, vanilla and milk, until smooth. If necessary, add more milk until frosting is spreading consistency. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring. Stir to blend. Makes enough to fill and frost a 2 layer cake or 9x13 inch sheet cake or 2 dozen cupcakes.
This is the buttercream frosting recipe from the Wilton cake decorating class I took in Utah. It's a very yummy frosting and it works well for smoothing out and using to decorate.
Love Always,
Mommy
