Buttercream
Cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1/2 cup shortening, or use all butter (2 Sticks). Gradually add 4 cups (about a lb.) of powdered sugar, 2 Tbs Milk, and 1 tsp real vanilla extract. Blend until creamy. For a smoother creamier spreadable icing, add 1 additional Tbs of milk. This can be used to frost cakes and cookies, and can be used to decorate them, as well.
