Homemade Buttercream Frosting

Recipe for Buttercream Frosting.

I love making cakes and cupcakes and have never really been quite fond of the frosting you buy in stores. I have been making my own homemade buttercream frosting for years now and it is honestly the best icing ever!

I do still get the icing in stores if it is free after coupons, as it comes in handy if I’m out of icing sugar or another important ingredient for this recipe.
