Candy Cane Frosting - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup undiluted Carnation Evaporated Milk
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy

Mix carnation with peppermint extract and salt in medium-sized bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar (you may call it \"powdered\" sugar). Blend them together with a wooden spoon until smooth.
When icing is smooth, add softened butter and stir well.
When cake layers have cooled about 2hours, put bottom layer on plate. Put about 1/2 cup icing on layer. Spread with a spatula.
Put second cake layer on top. Spread icing around sides of cake. Frost the top of the cake last. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy on top of cake.
