Cream Cheese Icing

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 16 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 2 lb. (8 cups) confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoon milk

NOTE: Do not use light cream cheese or butter substitute. If margarine is used, icing will be softer.

In a medium mixer bowl cream butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add sugar and milk. Beat on high until smooth (only 30 seconds to 1 minute). Thin to ice cake smooth; use full strength for piping borders.

YIELD: Makes 5-1/2 cups.
