Perfect and exactly the right amount! I usually just eye it but this was much easier!

    This was an easy frosting that worked well on cupcakes. If you want a smooth finish, try this: After spreading the somewhat stiff frosting evenly on the cake or cupcakes, smooth it out with a metal frosting spreader. Periodically rinse the spreader under hot running water (without drying it off), allowing the moisture on the speader to work it's magic. If you want a delicious tasting frosting, there are much better recipes out there. But, if you are just searching for something to ice a cake, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls* or oatmeal cookies*, this one works well. I sparingly frosted 18 cupcakes with one batch of this recipe. *Add extra milk to the mix, one drop at a time, to make it thin enough for this purpose.

    great recipe, but the does the age of the vanilla affect the quality of the frosting?
