How To Make buttercream frosting

Step 1

In a large bowl cream butter and powdered sugar on low until combined. This can be messy so slowly beat.

Step 2

Add vanilla and enough of the cream, a little at a time, just to get the desired consistency for frosting.
Step 3

If you want to color this. I would suggest using a paste, or gel, food coloring.
