We make quick frostings by combining butter and powdered sugar. After making and tinkering with the frosting for Lofthouse Style cookies, from Stella Parks' incredible book, I observed what she had discovered. Cream makes a more enjoyable frosting. It adds richness and allows for a smooth silkiness. I'm not sure why it took so long to see this. Thankfully Stella cleared the path for us.
