This is a wonderful butter cream icing the same as you would find from a reputable baker. Another family secret...shhhhhhh But wait.. I just found out that it wasn't that much of a secret.. lol oh well... that happens! NOTE: For white icing, eliminate the cocoa. You can frost as is or add lemon flavoring, peppermint extract...
