White Buttercream Icing

I decorate cakes and this is my most requested icing. This recipe will decorate one 9x13 or smaller cake. This icing tastes the best with yellow or white cake. The creme bouquet flavoring is made by CK Products (www.ckproducts.com to find a location) and can be found at some stores that carry cake decorating supplies. If you cannot find it, substitute any clear flavoring of your choice. I got this recipe from the Wilton cake decorating courses.
