Very good. I used 4 tbsp. whole milk and 1/2 cup butter plus 4 tbsp. butter and it came out really creamy and not overly sweet or hard to spread. I also made chocolate cupcakes with it, and the combination of vanilla buttercream frosting on top of the chocolate cupcake is delicious and perfect! Thanks for posting!
