[ravish30]

My husband loves anything made with buttercream! (especially frosting and those yummy buttercream filled easter eggs). I made some cupcakes (white cake mix) 2 weeks ago and used the below buttercream frosting recipe. The cupcakes didn't last long!

Buttercream Frosting

16 oz. marshmallow cream
1 1/2 c. (3 sticks) butter, softened
5 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. confectioners 10X sugar

Beat the marshmallow cream using an electric mixer set on low speed. Add the butter in 1" pieces and beat until smooth. Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract and confectioners sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything gets mixed evenly. Beat on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
