Every wonder how a baker gets that perfect frosting for their cakes? Here is a tried and true recipe that my sister even used on my wedding cake when she made it. It is a family hit and it works well for cakes or cookies.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1/2 cup (one stick) butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 cups confectionary sugar
  • 3-4 Tbs milk
Step1
Beat butter and vanilla until smooth
Step2
Add in confectionary sugar and beat till mixed
Step3
Add milk and beat until smooth

Tips & Warnings

  • If you would like a thinner frosting then you can add more milk to the mixture.
  • Can use margarine however, I believe it tastes better with the butter.
