I am pretty picky when it comes to butter cream icing. I find that most are hard to pipe or are kind of gritty. This is the best icing I have ever come across and so easy to make. It actually looks like whipped cream if you add all 6 tablespoons milk and it is super white if you use the clear vanilla.
