My Favorite Icing

Directions

1. 1
   Soften your butter to make mixing easier. Cream the softened butter with the powdered sugar. Add in the vanilla extract and milk. Mix well.
2. 2
   Playing with the amount of powdered sugar used and the amount of milk will give you thicker or thinner icing, based on your preference.
3. 3
   This should ice anywhere from 12-24 cupcakes depending on how much icing you put on your cupcakes. I've never used it on a cake so I'm not sure if it would ice a whole cake or not, but you can freeze the excess icing so if you make too much, no biggie.
4. 4
   Food coloring also works great with this icing. Red icing on chocolate cupcakes! The best!
