Beautiful Buttercream Frosting

Buttercream FrostingThis recipe is very aptly named because it’s made with both butter and cream, lots of butter, and a little cream.  

It’s my favorite , except for chocolate. … Let me be more specific; this is my favorite white frosting recipe.  I use it on everything from sugar cookies to cinnamon rolls.  It’s rich, creamy, and delicious.
