Fruit Cocktail Cake Icing

---

I made only a couple changes to this recipe i adopted from the recipezaar account in february 2005. i increased the butter from 3/4 to 1 cup, changed the milk from canned evaporated milk (which i am not terribly fond of) to regular whole milk, and decreased the amount of milk from 1 cup to 3/4 cup (the additional 1/4 cup butter makes up the difference). this delicious topping is the perfect topping for recipe #7061.
