Notes
This frosting is thick but gets softer when stirred before spreading. If you prefer it thinner, add more milk but only a drop at a time. A little milk goes a long way.This frosting will frost 24 cupcakes or a 9 x 13 cake. Whenever I want to do 2-layer cake I make the recipe as written plus a half recipe and this gives me the perfect amount of frosting without too much left over.
