VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING (FROM SPRINKLES CUPCAKES)



Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (From Sprinkles Cupcakes) image

My sister got this buttercream frosting off the box of a Sprinkles Cupcake mix, made famous by Oprah. My sister said this was amazing. Update: I have finally gotten around to making this myself. I will say, that I don't like my desserts overly sweet and. though this was very good, I think I would probably decrease the amount of sugar for my personal taste. I'm glad everyone else has liked it as-is, though. :)

SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Simple and Delicious Buttercream Frosting image

I decided on a whim yesterday that I wanted to make cupcakes for Canada Day. I didn't have time to buy frosting before getting ready for the fireworks show, so I ended up making my own with ingredients I already had. I was shocked at how quick and easy this was! This basic vanilla recipe makes enough to cover a dozen cupcakes, but feel free to double it (for cakes), triple it, add food coloring or different flavor extracts. If you find this too sweet, you can add a dash of salt to the milk or the vanilla. Personally I like it sweet, and I used salted butter, so I didn't find it necessary.

Provided by Oriana Romero

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups (460 g) unsalted butter
28 oz (800 g - 6 1/2 cups ) confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 - 3 tablespoons (30 - 45 ml) heavy cream, milk, or water

Steps:

  • Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed, beat in a large bowl the unsalted butter until smooth, pale and creamy, about 5 - 8 minutes.
  • Add half of the confectioners' sugar. Reduce mixer speed to low and mix until incorporated.
  • Once incorporated, add the remaining confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt; mix to incorporate.; beat on low speed for 1 minute, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 4 - 5 minutes until the frosting is smooth, fluffy, and spreadable, scraping down the bowl once or twice.
  • Test the consistency of your buttercream with a spatula. The buttercream should be smooth and spreadable. Adjust if needed: You can control the consistency at this point- If the buttercream is too thick, beat in the liquid of your choice, one tablespoon at a time. If frosting is too thin, add up to 1/2 cup more confectioners' sugar.
  • If using food coloring, stir it in here at the end. Gel food coloring is my preference for vibrantly colored icing.

Provided by Katie

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 Cup Solid Vegetable Shortening ((can be substituted for an additional 1/2 cup unsalted butter))
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter ((1 stick softened))
4 Cups Sifted Powdered Sugar ((confectioners' sugar))

EASY VANILLA BUTTERCREAM



Easy Vanilla Buttercream image

How to make perfect vanilla buttercream - Easy to make with just four everyday ingredients, and ideal for cupcakes, sandwich cakes, macarons and decorated celebration cakes. Recipe VIDEO below.

Provided by Charlotte Oates

Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 4

250 g unsalted butter
500 g icing sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
Approx. 1 tbsp milk (I use skimmed but any is fine)

Steps:

  • Cut the butter (250g) into cubes (about 1″) and beat in an electic mixer until soft.
  • Add the icing sugar (500g) and beat until fully combined - I prefer to add the sugar a couple of spoonfuls at a time as this minimises the amount of sugar that flies out all over the kitchen! You'll find that at first it'll start to look lumpy but keep persevering and it'll smooth out.
  • Add the vanilla extract (½ tsp) and mix until fully combined.
  • (See note about about the required consistency) Take a look at the consistency of the icing, is it spreadable? If not add ½ tsp milk and mix until fully combined. Check the consistency again and repeat until it is just spreadable.
  • Once you've got the icing to the right consistency - have fun piping, spreading, or just licking if off the spoon!
