Any good frosting recipes?

Question

It's my parent's 18th wedding anniversery on April 1st. (forgive me if I spelled it incorrectly) I'm ten and me and my bro are making a cake. We were going to use confetious (or whatever) sugar for frosting. Any other ideas?

Hi !!!
Here is a terrific recipe...

Magnolia Bakery Vanilla Buttercream

Serving: Frosts about 2 dozen cupcakes

1 Cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
6 to 8 Cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 Cup milk
2 Teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter, 4 cups sugar, milk, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating for about 2 minutes after each addition, until icing reaches desired consistency; you may not need to add all the sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
