BUTTER CREAM ICING (BUTTERCREAM FROSTING)



Butter Cream Icing (Buttercream Frosting) image

I use Recipe #95416 when I'm decorating a cake but we like this version on brownies, cookies or undecorated cakes. I cut the recipe in half for brownies. Goes really well on Recipe #2496. Freezes well also. (If you have leftovers, put it between graham cracker for a delicious snack or dessert. My kids love it that way!)
