Talk about icing on the cake! This buttery compliment may be spread directly on cake or piped through decorative tips.

How To Make basic cake frosting

1
Mix all ingredients together & beat at medium speed with mixer for 7 - 8 minutes, or until smooth & lump-free. Stop & then beat again. If too thick, add drops of water while beating until of desired consistency. Icing or icing leftovers will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator. To use later, beat again to make smooth. A little water may need to be added.
