This is the buttercream icing recipe I'll use.

I used to make the Wilton icing recipe, but it is made with Crisco instead of butter and I don't want DD eating crisco mixed with powder sugar.

Thanks!  That looks delicious... butter seems like it would taste much better than crisco anyway...

yeah, I don't want her to eat anything weird/overly processed so I'm making her cake/icing from scratch so that I know she's getting just flour, eggs, butter, etc.  Even boxed cakes have dye in them, ugh.   I'm not a hard core clean eating freak, but her little body isn't used to all the harsh crap out there and I'd like to keep it that way a little while.
