This vanilla buttercream icing is the best we have ever tasted. You will love
the smooth taste of this creamy icing great for cakes, cookies,
cupcakes and muffins. We love using it as a 'cookie dip' once the cakes
have been finished.
Combining the pudding and the creamed butter requires some patience but
it is sure worth it. I have found that paste colors do not work as well
with this frosting as using regular food coloring. I will experiment a
bit more with some other cake coloring products and report back here
for you on the results I find. A really great vanilla buttercream icing
that our kids (even Mom and Dad) love to use and make a buttercream
filled cookie sandwich.
Try it out. Remember pulling apart 'oreo cookies'? Mmmmmmmm...
Enjoy this one, your whole family will love this wonderful icing alternative.
