I am a complete novice to cake baking and decorating...sorry in advance for being on here all the time looking for help

I want to ice cakes with butter iceing but I dont know the recipe for the iceing that i need
ie: it has a very thin crust on the outside but is lovely sweet and smooth on the inside of each piped peak

Thank You

At the top there are tabs, one is recipes, and the other is search. Either place you can find a buttercream icing recipe.
