Re: Frosting or buttercream Recipe please

I made this meringue frosting the other day:

It was really yum and not sickly sweet. I'm definitely going to make it again. However, it took a lot more time than suggested. Read the comments, but it does come together eventually. I made mine twice because the first time didn't work. FM me if you decide to make it, I'll tell you exactly how I did it.

Here it is in vanilla:

I use the following for my cupcakes:

4 cups sifted confectioner sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter (softened)
4 Tbsp milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vanilla

I basically put the butter in my mixer and turn it on for a few minutes. Then I add the sugar, salt, vanilla and milk and start the mixer on slow. Once all of the sugar is absorbed in the liquid and butter, I speed it up and let it run for several minutes.

If I am frosting 30 cupcakes I usually make 1 1/2 times the recipe. If I were to frost by spreading it on with a knife the recipe would probably be fine by itself, but I use frosting tips and that usually makes you use more frosting.
