Step 1

In medium mixer bowl, cream butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add sugar one cup at a time and milk. Mix well. Beat on high until smooth (only 30 seconds to 1 minute). Thin to ice cake smooth; use full strength for piping borders.

Step 2

NOTE: Do not use light cream cheese or butter substitute. If margarine is used, icing will be softer.
