Very good frosting. Sweetness is not overpowering. I tried it on sugar cookies but I think it will perfect on cupcakes. Definitely staying in my recipe box

i really like this recipe, but i used 5 cups of confectioner sugar. i still thought it was to sweet, so i added peanut butter to take away from the sweetness i and it was better.

I added 1 more cup of confectioners' sugar and 2 more teaspoons vanilla extract. Instead of milk I used water and I used 10 tablespoons of water in my recipe. Great Recipe! Yummy! I took this frosting over to my sisters house for cookie decorating and left it there. They liked it so much!
