What kind of frosting are you looking for? There's plenty of varieties, and
they're all pretty easy to do, and taste infinitely better than
store-bought.
For example, a simple cream cheese frosting:
8 oz softened cream cheese
4 ounces softened butter
4 cups confectioners (powdered) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp of milk
Combine the butter and cream cheese with the paddle attachment of your
mixer. Add the sugar, vanilla, and 1 tbsp of the milk. When it's creamy and
smooth, check for consistency..if too thick, add a little more milk. Easy!
You can change it up so many ways. Flavor with some orange oil and grated
orange peel...or try lemon or lime the same way. Or, melt the butter and
combine with 1/2 cup cocoa for the yummiest chocolate frosting.

Experiment!
