Mimi's Even Better Buttercream

All the decadence of a traditional buttercream but without the dryness. A dream to whip up! You'll never want to frost another cake with the store bought frosting again!

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 tsp. vanilla
8 cups SIFTED powdered sugar (measure cups after they've been sifted)
4 tbsp. milk

DIRECTIONS:
Cream together butter, shortening and vanilla taking care to scrape down sides and bottom of the bowl. On medium speed, add powdered sugar, one cup at a time until completely incorporated. Frosting will be dry. Add milk and whip until combined. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.

Piping tip used to frost cupcakes: 1M
