Ingredients

  • 1/3 cups Butter Or Margarine
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk

Method

  • Soften your butter to make mixing easier. Cream the softened butter with the powdered sugar. Add in the vanilla extract and milk. Mix well.
  • Playing with the amount of powdered sugar used and the amount of milk will give you thicker or thinner icing, based on your preference.
  • This should ice anywhere from 12-24 cupcakes depending on how much icing you put on your cupcakes. I've never used it on a cake so I'm not sure if it would ice a whole cake or not, but you can freeze the excess icing so if you make too much, no biggie.
  • Food coloring also works great with this icing. Red icing on chocolate cupcakes! The best!
