Grandma Delleplain Butter Frosting Food

RED, WHITE AND BLUE M&M'S CANDY CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix according to package. Bake in 2 greased 6-inch round cake pans. Let cool. Fill and frost with but.tercream
• Beat softened butter on medium speed with an electric or stand mixer. Beat for 3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
• Add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla extract with the mixer running on low. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 minutes. Note: If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little more cream. Just add one tablespoon at a time, then mix thoroughly until you get the consistency you like.
• *Note: If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or water instead. If using milk or water, I would try 3 tablespoons instead of 1/4 cup. If it's too thick, add another tablespoon.
• For the decoration, place M&M's on side of cake in a diagonal line in each color. Start with red, then white, then blue. Repeat until you have gone all around the cake. Pipe swirls of frosting on top using a 1M pastry tip. Add more M&M's to top of cake and paper flags, if desired.
