Hi I usually use equal quantities of very soft butter and icing sugar and whip til it goes almost white. For an amazingly yum butter icing I sometimes add an equal quantity of melted white or dark chocolate after the almost white stage. HOpe this helps. I've seen other recipes which use double the quantity of icing sugar to butter.
