This is a great basic frosting recipe. Good for making birthday cakes with really sweet icing. Since my daughter is allergic to milk, I substituted Rich's whip. It was very creamy and smooth.

The perfect compliment to Paige's Sour Cream Cut-Out Cookies! I added a dash of salt to cut the sweetness and used a bit more milk to make the consistancy a little easier to spread. We had plenty of frosting to decorate 3 dozen cookies in four different colors. Thanks, taylortwo, for a great combination!

Very easy, smooth, rich and creamy. This is very, very sweet. I made this to spread over Paige's sour cream cut out cookies recipe #43331 and the combination was terrific. Thanks for sharing.

Love this frosting! This is my first homemade butter cream frosting! I tinted it Green for St. Patty's Day Chocolate Cupcakes! Hope the boys in the office LOVE this.
