Buttercream Frosting


At an event last week, I met a nice lady. We talked about my blog and she asked about a buttercream frosting recipe.

Even though I didn't have one posted at the time, she inspired me to share one with you. 

So, just in case she visits my blog (or any of you want an amazing frosting recipe), I typed it up below.

This is my mom's frosting recipe, so it's time-tested and delicious. Enjoy!
