Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
This is my favorite recipe for basic vanilla buttercream. I prefer this over any bakery or store bought frosting I've had. It's sturdy and holds its shape well. This yields enough to frost a 9x13" sheet cake or about 12-16 cupcakes, depending how liberally you frost them. Recipe source: Sallysbakingaddiction.com

Either using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed, until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- 2
Switch the speed to low and with the mixer running, add 4 1/2 cups of the confectioners sugar, the heavy cream, the vanilla extract and the salt.
- 3
Once it's all added in, increase the speed to high and beat for 3 full minutes. Once that time is up, if it's too thin, add an additional 1/2 cup confectioners sugar or if it's too thick add more heavy cream by the tbsp until the desired consistency is reached.

That's it, either use it right away or you can tightly cover it and store it in the fridge for up to 1 week.
