    All you need to do in making this creamy, sweet frosting is mix everything together. Start by creaming the butter with a mixer. Next, add in the powdered sugar and milk in small amounts, until you reach the consistency you want. If you refrigerate the frosting it will help it firm up. Firming it up makes it a little easier to spread. Some people like to add vanilla extract to the frosting to give it more sweetness. Just add a teaspoon or two, it is naturally sweet on it's own. This Homemade Buttercream Frosting Recipe is great on cinnamon rolls too. It will melt perfectly on them right out of the oven.
