Assistant: Hmm, good question!  Buttercream icing is typically made by beating together softened butter and powdered sugar, with various additional ingredients such as milk or cream and various flavorings and colorings added for variety.  The basic process is to combine the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer, then slowly add milk or cream and flavorings as desired.  The mixture can then be further worked and thinned with additional milk or cream, if desired, and finally lightened with whipped egg white for extra fluffiness.  Sometimes the egg white is beaten separately and then gently folded into the buttercream, and sometimes it is beaten directly into the buttercream mixture.  Voila, delicious buttercream icing!  Hope this helps!
