Hi Dawn!
I enjoy reading all of your helpful hints. I saw your recipe for buttercream icing but I was wondering if you add any water or milk to it?

Never ever water. ALWAYS remember- water and oil don't mix. You add water, you will be sad.
The recipe typically does not use any milk. However, I have added milk or flavored coffee creamer (French Vanilla- mm mm
) if I need to thin it down a bit.
