Kittencal's Creamy White Buttercream Frosting/Icing Recipe #80118
This is similar to bakery frosting and so much better than any canned! to yield more frosting increase the butter and shortening to 1/2 cup and increase the confectioners sugar as needed --- for extra fluffy frosting make certain to beat for at least 3-5 minutes and remember to sift the confectioners sugar before using.
