Test Kitchen: Frosting

So, every time I follow the butter cream frosting recipe that I have, it always comes out very thin and doesn't hold it's shape. Until today!! I decided to leave the milk to the end and add very little amounts at a time, until I got the thickness I wanted. I hardly used any milk, only 15ml, and it came out the perfect consistency, just what I was looking for. Here are some photos of the frosting with the new piping set I got this weekend.
