REALLY, REALLY GOOD (AND EASY!) BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
First off, I have to give all credit to the Confessions of a Cookbook Queen blog, because that's where I found this recipe. It is the best country (non-cook) buttercream frosting that I have ever had. If you're decorating a cake or cupcakes, it also holds up well. I guessed on the yield, but this recipe will easily frost 24 cupcakes.

Steps:
- Put butter, milk, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer (if you don't have a stand mixer, a hand mixer will do).
- Mix on low speed until it just starts to come together, about a minute.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Increase to medium low speed and beat for about another minute.
- Increase mixer speed to medium high and beat for about another or minute or so.
- Add powdered sugar (and cocoa, if using). Beat on low speed until sugar is just barely incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and increase speed slowly to medium. Beat for about a minute.
- Check your consistency. This is very important because if your frosting is too thick, it will not spread well.
- If your spatula does not glide through the frosting, add about a tablespoon of corn syrup and beat on medium for about 30 seconds.
- When the frosting is just holding its shape, it is too thick (if you are wanting to pipe some decorations on your cake/cupcakes, now would be the time to set a little of this aside in a separate bowl).
- Add another tablespoon of corn syrup and beat on medium for 30 seconds.
- Repeat until the frosting seems to be of a good spreadable consistency (you don't want it too runny, or it will slide off the cake/cupcakes).
- Once you get your frosting to a good, spreadable consistency, increase mixer speed to medium high and beat for one minute. This will get your frosting nice and fluffy.

BASIC BUTTERCREAM ICING
Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix at slow speed until smooth. If stiffer icing is needed, or if the weather is very warm, add a little extra sugar. This recipe is enough to cover and fill a 9- by 13-inch sheet cake or two 9-inch layers.
CLASSIC BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
This buttercream frosting can be used for cakes, cookies, and pastries. It can be modified with colors, flavorings, and the use of liqueurs. You will find it to be versatile, providing a gorgeous and delicious base for many baked goods. I use this recipe to frost my cookies and cakes. This recipe will easily frost 24 sugar cookies. It will also frost a four-layer cake between layers and on the outside providing full coverage on the top and sides.

Steps:
- Assemble your ingredients making sure they are room temperature. I suggest setting out the butter and cream the night before.
- Assemble your utensils. You will need one large mixing bowl, a set of measuring spoons, dry measuring cup, liquid measuring cup, soft spatula, a standard hand mixer.
- With your hand mixer beat butter in a large bowl on high speed until creamy.
- Add heavy cream and extracts (or liqueurs if desired). Beat on high for five minutes.
- Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, beating on high until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure an even incorporation of all the sugar. .
- Your end product should be light and airy.
- Frost your favorite cake, cookie, or fill your favorite doughnut or pastry.
- FOR MOCHA OR CHOCOLATE: Substitute 1.5 cups of powdered instant coffee of your choice, or powdered cocoa in place of 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. I use Hershey's or Ghiradelli. Both work beautifully. You may also add a coffee or chocolate liqueur, both which are fantastic. Again, this recipe is very versatile. If you want a stronger and richer coffee or chocolate, you can add more powders or liqueurs to taste. Texture may vary slightly with additional ingredients. Use your discretion.

My aunt would make this for all the family get togethers, I could hardly wait to dig in, She always served it on a dark chocolate cake. It is better than whipped cream. Cook time is cooling time.
