Recipe notes:
One recipe makes enough frosting for a two-tier, 9-inch diameter, naked layer cake. To coat the outside of the cake as well, double the recipe.
*Pay close attention when whipping this frosting. If it's underwhipped, it will not hold its shape. If it's overwhipped, it will become grainy. The frosting is perfect when it starts to reach very stiff peaks.
