This is the best icing I have ever put in my mouth! I am making my own wedding cake & have been searching for the perfect icing. Folks -- THIS IS IT!!!

Very easy and very tasty. I did make a couple of changes since I didn't have coconut milk or any milk at all. I used 1/2 cup butter and increased the extracts to 1 tsp each. I used this frosting on chocolate cupcake and the two tasted great together.
