Does anyone have an easy vanilla frosting recipe?
I am making Martha Stewart's Vanilla Cake ... her frosting recipe that goes with it requires a candy thermometer which I do not own. Any other ideas?

Made it for my daughter's birthday and about 5 people asked me what it was. Insanely simple, and delicious.
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temp
1 7.5 oz jar Marshmellow Fluff (or 7 oz marshmallow cream)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I use more) Beat butter til smooth, grad beat in fluff, then vanilla. Use immediately.
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, more if needed
Using either a standing mixer with the whisk, or a sturdy hand--held mixer, combine the sugar and butter on low speed, then beat on medium for about three minutes. Add the vanilla and cream and beat for another minute or so on medium, adding more cream if needed to make it spreadable.
