Buttercream Frosting - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Darci
Delicious!!! This frosting works great to pipe on cakes or just a nice spread. Can play with milk to make a little smoother or a little more sugar to thicken for piping. For a chocolate flair just add dry cocoa powder according to taste, makes a light brown frosting. For a richer color chocolate frosting melt 2 squares unsweetened chocolate melted, may need to add more sugar if you do the melted chocolate.
