"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
1 cup of salted butter
3 teaspoons of vanilla
4 cups of icing sugar
4-5 tablespoons of coffee cream (18% and up)
Directions:
Directions:
1. Trust me on this one and use salted butter in this icing.
2. Whip that butter, with a paddle beater if you have it, if not, don’t worry.
3. Add in the icing sugar. **I came back to edit this to say that fresh icing sugar makes all the difference. Icing sugar goes stale, and you can sure taste it when it does! Crack open a fresh bag for icings, you won’t be sorry!**
4, Add in the cream. Not milk, cream. I used 4 tablespoons for my preference, you adjust to what you want.
Stiffer icing = less cream.
Whippier icing = more cream.
5. Vanilla…. I used 3 teaspoons, again, you can try a little more if you like.Then keep mixing it until fluffy and thoroughly combined
