Best frosting ever!

This is probably the best frosting I have ever had. I don't know if it's the cream (instead of milk) or the fact that you whip it for 3 minutes with a standing mixer that makes it so delish, but you need to try this recipe next time you need frosting.

Quick Vanilla Buttercream

3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons whipping cream
Directions
In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

I added a bit more cream and then a bit more sugar until I got the perfect taste and consistency.

I made these for a baby shower.
