This is the recipe for simple butter cream Icing but you can use Margarine instead of butter. It is fantastic.
- 1 1 lb. box (approx. 3 3/4 cups) C&H® Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
The Recipe comes from C&H. This was the first recipe I used as a child when I iced my first cake. I like to double the recipe. If you are planning on using the recipe to do some extra decorating double it. If not, the recipe will ice a 2 layer 8" round cake or a 1/4 sheet cake.

If you want a pure white icing, then use clear flavorings. These are usually artificial and you can find them in the cake decorating supply area of Michaels stores.
