Butter Cream Frosting Recipe

July 1, 2013

 

 

:: Butter Cream Frosting ::

 

Cupcakes have to be one of my favorite items to bake! I love them because I don’t feel as guilty eating one, as I do making a cake. Cupcakes always seem to put a smile on my family’s face.  Though I love the actual cake portion of the cupcake, I adore the frosting the most!  It is something I have enjoyed since a child.  My favorite is a light whipped cream frosting, but a good butter cream frosting {that is not too rich}, is a wonderful topping on any cupcake!  My favorite butter cream frosting is by Magnolia Bakery.  I have made it a million times, and have added a few items and recreated it into other butter cream flavors.  Yes I know… very vanilla, but sometimes simple is best!   [Read more…]

Whipped Cream Frosting Cupcakes

November 13, 2012

It has been a busy week of celebrations.

We just finished having a very Happy Halloween.  A week to the day is my son’s birthday.

Then it follows with my godson and sisters’ plus topping it off with Thanksgiving.

Whoa….. quite a bit, but as a mom you know it never ends just there.

So I have to be on my game with quick ideas and easy semi home made versions of great recipes.

Last week I spent an hour late at night melting chocolate over a double boiler plus making

homemade cupcakes from my favorite Magnolia Bakery recipe.

A bit of work, but well worth it for my son’s 6th birthday request and I feel great doing it.

The recipe I know very well and it is a go to one at that, but it is time consuming as baking

is a science and one must pay attention to all of the ingredients and steps.

Though I love baking this way, it is not practical when you have a busy activity week.

So when it is my turn to volunteer for cupcakes.  I prefer to make a semi home made version

of some of my favorite recipes, I use boxed mix for the cake portion.

Magnolia Bakery’s Vanilla Butter cream is a favorite. 

I love everything about it, not too sweet and not too much but I now have a runner up.

Last year at Sara’s daughter’s birthday I experienced her Whipped Cream Frosting.

It is amazing.  So much so I can eat a whole bowl of it.

I make it and think what can I dip this in add this to or frankly just smother this on!

Love love it! This is a keeper.  Thanks Sara for sharing!
