mmmm, delicious! I can't stand the idea of shortening, so this was a perfect recipe for me. Yummy and easy. I did use almond extract instead of vanilla, and while I might decide to use vanilla next time, the almond has a nice little flavor to it (maybe too strong, though - also might lessen the almond to half a teasp). Thanks!

The perfect compliment to Paige's Sour Cream Cut-Out Cookies! I added a dash of salt to cut the sweetness and used a bit more milk to make the consistancy a little easier to spread. We had plenty of frosting to decorate 3 dozen cookies in four different colors. Thanks, taylortwo, for a great combination!

I like this recipe since I prefer not to use shortening, which many buttercream recpies call for. I doubled this recipe and it was enough to frost and decorate 2 13x9 cakes stacked on top of each other.
