Yes real butter, no salt. And the vanilla can be either, whichever you like. I just use regular vanilla, either artifical or real.

Hi there
Looks good.
Question, real butter do you mean with or without salt in it?
Vanilla like the wilton clear vanilla or the dark pure or artifical vanilla?

Thank you for your time

Do you find that your icing softens too much when piping? I can’t stand using shortening in my icing recipe – which typically gives it a little stiffness.

Thanks.

@Melanie, Typically the only difference, in my opinion, between icing and frosting, is the consistency. Icing is usually thinner than frosting. But they are very similiar. Also, we can use hot water instead of milk, the flavor and consistency may just be a little different. Thanks for stopping by! I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have other questions, I'm happy to help! ~Liz
