I made a double batch of this recipe, I followed some review ie. pour milk in slowly and I added some maple syrup at the end which made it have a smoother taste. I would probably make this again It was a hit with kids and adults

okay, so my sister and i made cupcakes and wanted an easy frosting to make and i am honestly going to say that this icing is HORRIBLE! its runny and all you can taste is the stupid confectioners sugar.
i recommend you don't use this recipe...

I have been searching for a buttercream icing for a long time. My husband is funny about buttercream icing. His mom makes a very good one. but I can't seem to make it like she does. I used this receipe for my granddaughter's birthday cake and it was a BIG hit. I won't use any other buttercream icing. I found what works. You see I'm a baker also for family and friends. I would like to know how to make a chocolate icing using the same recipe. My hat's off to you Colette. I'm going to try your white cake receipe also. Do you have a whipped icing recipe?

I came across this recipe in looking for something close to one I used to have. This is the closest thing to what I had. I changed up the prep since I have made buttercream frosting by adding the sugar after the butter, milk and salt. I have added the Vanilla last but I don't think it makes a difference. Great Recipe! Loved it! :-D

I loved this icing. I added another stick of butter, a little more vanilla, and added the milk a little at a time because it will get to runny if you use all of what the recipe calls for. My friends loved it! So much better than store bought icing. It is very sweet, so if your not a big fan of super sweet this isn't the icing for you.

I love this recipe. My first time ever making a buttercream icing and it came out perfect. Although I did make a minor adjustment, along with the (clear vanilla extract I added 1 tsp of Maple extract and it gave it a very creamy wonderful taste and got rid of that "too sweet" taste. Although dont use it if you want the buttercream to be pure white. Mine came out an off-white color to it.

This was a very good icing only thing to watch for is how much milk you put in cuz if you use the half cup it comes out runny. I liked it.
