Don't you just love butter cream!! I am a butter-cream-girrrl! I hate those, super sweet icings that they put on cakes that you order from the grocery store. Normally I would have had to request whipped icing, just so they wouldn't spread that tooth ache in disguise all over my cake. See that's why I make and decorate my own cakes now...all butter cream baby!
This recipe is delicious! It isn't too sweet, it's light and fluffy, and best of all, it's quick and easy...a winner every time! It's perfect for cakes, not so much for cookie decorating, because it doesn't get completely harden like royal icing. You can also add almost every flavoring to butter cream. The possibilities are endless when it comes to butter cream icing!
Mmmmmm...
2 sticks of butter, softened
3 1/2 powdered sugar
1/2 t salt
1 T milk
1 t vanilla
mix the 2 sticks of butter, 1/2 t of salt and the 3 1/2 cups of sugar, all together
Add the 1 Tbls of milk and 1 tsp of vanilla
Continue to mix til all incorporated.
Yummy butter cream!
TIPS
To color, just add a few drops food coloring, start with a few, stir, then add more til you get you desired color
I you are using this to write on a dessert, , place a small amount in a separate bowl, you will need to add more milk, about 1/2 tsp at a time.
Perfect for cake decorating
ENJOY!
