Simple Buttercream Frosting

The PERFECT frosting topping to any cupcake but I love to pair it with my grain free vanilla cupcakes. This icing is not necessarily paleo because it does have organic powdered sugar but sometimes you just have to use some sugar…its not like I eat this everyday, even though I may want to! Enjoy.
