Buttercream Frosting

Buttercream frosting, or buttercream icing, goes well with just about every cupcake. It is easy to pipe and it holds its shape beautifully.



This recipe is for a plain butter cream frosting but I have also listed alternatives.

vanilla cupcakes with buttercream and chocolates 125g (4oz) butter
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 tablespoons milk

1. Have butter and milk at room temperature.

2. Place butter in small bowl of electric mixer and beat until butter is as white as possible.

3. Gradually add about half the sifted icing sugar, beating constantly.

5. Mixture should be smooth and easy to spread with a spatula. Add extra milk or icing sugar until cupcake frosting is of a spreadable consistency.

Variations:
Chocolate: make up the basic recipe and add 2 tablespoons sifted cocoa powder to the icing sugar.

Brandy: add two tablespoons of brandy to the mixture for a beautify brandy frosting that teams well with my fruit mince cupcakes.

Coloured: add a drop of food colouring to frosting until you reach the desired colour.
