It's butter icing,

125g of softened butter
8oz of icing sugar
vanilla or almond extract to flavour (my fav is almond!)
a few drops of milk to make it all fluffy
and a few drops of whatever colour you want to use

Its basic ......

2 eggs = 4oz of flour,sugar,butter + one tsp of baking powder and fold not beat

3 eggs = 6oz of flour,sugar,butter +tsp baking powder

4 eggs = 8oz of flour,sugar,butter +tsp baking powder

And so on.A little milk if it seems to stodgy and then a dash of vanilla essence,cocoa powder,coconut,fruit or whatever takes your fancy.I dont line my tins I grease and flour em x
