Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

People ask me for my buttercream recipe all the time. I've used this recipe for 16 years since I went to a Wednesday night church-sponsored cake decorating activity a week before I turned 12. It's really simple and easy to make...and somewhat addicting. Hide the graham crackers!

Wilton's Buttercream frosting:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter/margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla
2-4 T milk
4 cups powdered sugar

Whip butter with shortening.
Add vanilla and 2 T milk.
Mix in 2 cups powdered sugar til smooth.
Mix in another 2 cups powdered sugar along with 1-2 T milk, til smooth.

Should look like this:


My KitchenAid can hold a double batch at a time.
