I THINK I got this from a copycat for Magnolia Bakery Buttercream, but then modified a tiny bit. Maybe? It's a pretty basic buttercream.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (not margarine)
  • 8 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

How To Make buttercream frosting

  • Step 1
    Place butter in mixing bowl, add 4 cups of the sugar and then the milk and vanilla, beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, until icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency (you may not need all of the sugar).
  • Step 2
    Use and store icing at room temperature, as icing will set if chilled. You can store in an airtight container for up to three days.
