NOTE: I don't know why the frosting instructions are so funky, but it works! I love how whippy this frosting is :) Also, I usually use the Kirkland brand salted butter. This last time I made the frosting I used Western Family butter. It was NOT as whippy :( The best part is the frosting! You want it just right :)
