cook's notes
This frosting is not overly sweet and this is why it is my favorite.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Absolutely the best buttercream I have ever made. The vanilla was the best part. It cut the powdered sugar flavor. I made it both with coffee and milk. It was best with milk (as a coffee fanatic this shocked me). So creamy and delicious without being sickening sweet. I could have ate the entire bowl with no cake and I really don't love frosting. I used room temp butter and fat free milk. And Mexican vanilla

I thought this icing was great! It has flavor and sweetness without being overly sweet, and it holds its form beautifully. My boys and husband all enjoyed it, too. This is a keeper!

I needed a quick recipe for frosting so my 3-year-old and I could finish the cupcakes we baked on a whim. I had all the necessary ingredients for this one. It was tasty, but in my opinion there's too much vanilla. Maybe if you us imitation vanilla it would be okay, but when using pure, I would cut it down by a half a teaspoon or so.
It was very good, but I made a few alterations so I can't give it a full five stars. First, I used coffee instead of milk, so that it doesn't have to be refrigerated. Also, I used a little more vanilla than called for to offset the coffee, and because I don't like the aftertaste of powdered sugar.
VEry good quick soulution to a lack of having frosting?!
