June's Canada Cake Icing

This great icing is light and fluffy, and not all gorpey like a traditional buttercream. If you eat it right away, it will be a bit grainy from the sugar, but I like it that way. You can also freeze a cake frosted with this, and by the time it thaws, the grains will have smoothed out nicely.
