does anyone have an easy frosting recipe to make with kids for both chocolate and vanilla? thanks!!

I found these on Consultant's corner:
Chocolate Buttercream frosting
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Directions:
1. In Classic Batter Bowl, beat butter on medium speed of electric mixer 1 minute or until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

2. Place chocolate morsels in Small Micro-Cooker®. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 1-1 1/2 minutes, stirring after each 20-second interval until melted and smooth. Add chocolate to butter mixture. Beat at medium speed until smooth, scraping sides and bottom of batter bowl, if necessary.

3. Attach desired tip to Easy Accent® Decorator; fill with about 1 cup of the frosting. Frost cooled cake with remaining frosting. Using decorator, pipe a decorative border around top edge and bottom of cake.

Yield: about 3 1/2 cups frosting (enough to frost one 8- or 9-inch layer cake or 24 cupcakes)

This is part of the doll cake recipe. This white frosting is yummy!

Frosting

1 package (2 pounds) powdered sugar (about 7 cups), divided
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract
6-7 tablespoons milk, divided
Food coloring (optional)

For frosting, combine half of the powdered sugar with butter, shortening, vanilla and 3 tablespoons of the milk in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Add remaining powdered sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, adding more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed for good spreading consistency. Tint some of the frosting with food coloring, if desired.

There is also a cream cheese recipe on Consultant's corner. Go to search recipe and under keyword type the word frosting. It will give you quite a few that you can click on, others will tell you where you can find them in our cookbooks. Hope this helps.
