cream butter and cream cheese together in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. mix in vanilla. gradually mix in powdered sugar, about a 1/2 cup at a time until you like the taste. i usually add about 2-3 cups. i keep adding until i can taste the sugar. you can also sift the sugar for a smoother texture.

you can also add in other flavors or colorings at the end. almond extract, peppermint extract and cocoa powder are fun to add (choose one or two).
