Buttercream Dream By Agentcakebaker

---

I got this recipe from a cake site and can't stop making it. it is the best buttercream recipe that i have found. i modified my recipe to include almond extract, but you can use just about any extract. i've done clear vanilla and raspberry with rave reviews. i use this recipe for all my cakes and cupcakes. it colors nicely. if you want a stiffer buttercream for roses and such, omit or add very little milk. if you want a thinner buttercream, add more than 6 tbs of milk.
