Can't wait to try this for my pizzelles. Thank you.

This is the easiest recipe for buttercream frosting that I have ever found!

Very tasty, but more like an icing than a frosting.

We have to say it is a terrific frosting! It was not runny at all like icing. We beat it and it was a very nice frosting. All we can say is, "Wow"! Enjoy.

Liz,

If you prefer a thicker frosting, start by only using a few drops of milk; add more milk, a teaspoonful at a time until you get the desired consistency. You can adjust the amount of the liquid or leave it out to have the frosting as thick as you'd like. You can use Wilton's icing white and/or clear vanilla if you prefer a very white frosting, too.

This is really easy. I used it for a cake that I made for my 2 boys (aged 1 and 4) and they loved it. I think I am going to use it more often.

Easy and very good. What's the difference between icing and frosting?

Icing is like something you drizzle over lets say cinn rolls and frosting is thicker and more spreadable.

The difference between icing and frosting is icing is thinner than frosting which usually is richer also. Going to try this for the first time, hope it works as good as everyone says.

This will be perfect for my surgar cookies thanks

Literally just whipped this up... sooo easy and so good... had to stop myself from double dipping from the mixing bowl!

The MOST perfect frosting/icing I have ever made in my life, and I'm 81! Please remember to sift the powdered sugar before measuring for perfect results! I made 1/2 recipe on my gluten-free cake, and softened the 1/2 cube butter quickly in the microwave, and added only 1 tbsp. whole milk! What a joy to finally learn of this ideal icing!

I just made this frosting up and it is delicious! Can't wait to frost my cupcakes with it! Very sweet!

This is a easy recipe to follow....and it tastes great!!!!

Very easy. I just made this frosting for my pound cake. It tasted and came out great. Can't wait to do it again.

It's so good!!!!

I am in the middle of making a strawberry cake homemade and I was planing on using store bought frosting but I forgot it at the store! It is now 2 am and stores are closed. I just found this easy recipe and am so happy I have everything it calls for! Can't wait to eat my cake!

Brilliant! I have used this so many times, the key to not lumpy: beat your butter till creamy before adding sugar. Add sugar and milk gradually, until your consistency is how you like it. I used whipping cream today instead of milk and, OMG- Yum! easy to color, hard to stop eating!
(insert sugar rush here)

I've used this recipe twice. The first time I melted the butter in the microwave and got icing. The second time I let the butter soften the slow way and I got the frosting. Both were yummy!

If you're going to quick-soften the butter in your microwave, do it at half-temperature so you don't melt it, otherwise you get the wrong consistency. ;)

This is a great recipe! Simple and delicious. Melt your butter only until it is soft and still holding its shape. I found this was easier to mix with the fork than the hand blender. Nice and fluffy. Add milk one tablespoon at a time for consistency. It is more like icing with fully melted butter and more milk. Thanks!

So simple with everyday ingredients! No eggs, no shortening! I had googled "easy frosting" and this truly is! My 12 year old made it and in less than 5 minutes the cake was done. We did let the butter soften at room temperature for awhile which I think would make a better consistency than microwaving. It is so delicious and not sickening sweet like store bought cake.
