how do u make frosting?

Question

no easy bake ovens or store bought mixes

Answer 1

1 stick of butter, about 3 cups powdered sugar ( this can be controlled by you, depending on how thick you want the frosting. So add it slowly while stirring in between, and add as much as you want) and a little vanilla.

If you want chocolate, then add a little cocoa powder in place of some of the powdered sugar.

Taste it as you go to come up with combination that works best for you.

Answer 2

It is easy to make, it's just powdered sugar, margarine, liquid, and flavoring.
Vanilla Butter Frosting:
1/3 cup soft margarine
3 cups confectioner's sugar.
1 and 1/2 tsp. vanilla
@ 2 tablespoons of milk
Blend butter and sugar. Stir in vanilla then milk, stir until frosting is the consistency you want, and is free of lumps
Variation: same ingredients, plus cocoa powder, use hot coffee [ I keep instant coffee in the house just for this, you can't tell it's instant in the frosting, but perked is fine,too] as the liquid. My Mom's Mocha Chocolate frosting. Yum. I dump in the cocoa last, and keep stirring it in until I get the color I want. Or do like Betty Crocker says, melt 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, cool it some, reducing the sugar to 2 cups. All recipes make enough for a 13x9 pan cake or brownies.
Ever put frosting in between 2 graham cracker squares? Oh, it is good. When you first make them, the grahams are crispy, and really gooey with the soft frosting. Store them in the frig in a plastic baggie, and the graham softens up, and it melts in your mouth. I love Mom's Mocha frosting, but vanilla is good,too.

Answer 3

Orange Butter Cream Frosting:
2 sticks butter
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Orange juice
Combine butter and sugar in a medium bowl and mix. Add just enough orange juice to thin the frosting to a spreading consistency.
