I tried making some homemade icing for Grace's birthday last week. It was tasty and very easy! This is from the Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book.
3/4 c butter, softened
2 lbs powdered sugar (8 cups)
1/3 cup milk
2 t vanilla
Beat butter with mixer til smooth. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, beating well. Beat in 1/3 cup milk and vanilla. Beat in additional milk to reach spreading consistency. (I had to add a little more than called for to get the right texture.) This will frost a 2 layer cake.
To make it a chocolate frosting: beat in 1/2 cup cocoa powder into butter before adding sugar.
