Simply the best buttercream icing ever!
I only use this recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup of good quality salted butter
3 teaspoons of vanilla (clear vanilla if you want a whiter color)
4 cups of icing sugar
4-5 tablespoons of coffee cream (18% and up)

Instructions
Using room temperature butter, place it in your mixer bowl.
Using a paddle attachment, whip the butter until it’s creamy and fluffy.
Add in the icing sugar, one cup at a time, beating in completely, until all 4 cups are combined.
Add in the vanilla and whip again to combine.
Add in your cream, less cream = stiffer icing. More cream – fluffier icing. (I use the caramel International Delight coffee creamer)
