Basic Buttercream

I first thought that I would post my frosting I use for every kind of cake, cupcake, or brownie. Classic Buttercream:
4 sticks butter (2 cups)
2 lbs powdered sugar
1-2 tsp your favorite flavoring-mine's almond or vanilla
Put you butter into the bowl of the mixer, beat on high until it is good and creamed. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, beat until smooth and fluffy after each addition. Do this again and again until all the sugar is added and the frosting is super fluffy. Add you flavoriting if desired and beat again. At this consistancy it is great for piping or spreading on a cake. If you think the icing is too thick, then add a tablespoon of warm water, or if a more thin frosting is wanted thin down with cream or milk!
Enjoy!
