Recipes!

Hello everyone! My cousin Candi added a few recipes to her blog, so I thought I would add a few of mine too. I'm always trying new things, so if you have any good recipes, send them my way!

Brittany's Buttercream Dream Icing
Ingredients
1 stick salted butter - room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter - room temperature
1 cup shortening
1 tablespoon Clear Vanilla extract
2 pounds confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
4-6 tablespoons very cold milk

Directions
Cream the butter and shortening in the bowl of an electric or stand mixer. Add the clear vanilla extract and combine well. Begin adding in the sugar and mixing thoroughly after each addition. After all of the sugar has been added and mixed thoroughly, begin adding the very cold milk... one tablespoon at a time, combining very well after each addition (mixer on medium-high to high speed) until you reach the desired consistency. This makes a LOT of icing, but you can put the extra in a container and store it in the fridge until next time :)
