Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk. Stir in vanilla. About 2 cups frosting.

O.K. see the chocolate covered cherry box,
well yep you guessed it I have one that looks a lot like it,but I think mine is a
little older.On the outside mine says Frontenac Chocolate covered Cherries. I bought mine in Washington,LA. a couple of years ago and inside of it was a new strand of old time small blue Christmas lights. I bought the box because of the cherries. I have had soooo much chocolate this Christmas,but now you make
me want more. That cake looks delicious and
that recipe looks so easy for the icing.
Thanks,that's a keeper.:O)

That's how I do it too! I often make the cake from scratch but in a pinch I use the box mix. We make the Perfect frosting that's on the Hershey's can. Can't be beat!
