Jocelynn's Baker's Frosting

Just cream together butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and drizzle in some milk.  I don't have any measurements for that.  Maybe use the same measurements above only omit the Crisco?  But I almost never buy frosting.  You can also add cocoa to either of these recipes to make chocolate.  Again, no measurements.  Just add a little and keep adding until you get the desired flavor.  Always add more milk if its too thick or more powdered sugar if its too thin.

Chocolate Frosting

Preparation:

Over very low heat, or in a microwave on low power, melt the chocolate and margarine together.

Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the hot water. Slowly stir in the sugar until the frosting is creamy. You may not need the entire 2 cups of sugar.

Strawberry Frosting.

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole strawberries.......Winter = No Strawberries or at least none I want :) So Strawberry Jam was my substitute!!!!
1 stick unsalted butter, firm and slightly cold
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese, slightly cold
1/2 teaspoon clear vanilla extract.....didn't even know they made clear.....it's just "regular" ole Vanilla!
22 ounces of confectioners’ sugar (approximately 1.4 pounds)......2.75 cups.
