  • *Frosting
  • 8 tbsp 1 stick butter - room temperature
  • 4 cups confectioners sugar

  • *Frosting
  • In a mixer with a paddle attachment cream butter until light & fluffy
  • Add in confectioners sugar & beat slowly
  • Once mixture looks moist but crumbly add in milk & beat until fluffy again - if you want it a little softer add additional creamer 1-2 tsp at a time
