Recipes: Buttercream Frosting*

Hello, Dessert-Lovers!

If you have never had buttercream frosting, you are missing out. I had never had it until this past year, and it is one of the best things ever. It is quite unhealthy, but we can just forget about that now. It's definitely worth it.

On a side note, I have decided all recipes copied directly from the website will be in golden-color words for clarity.

This recipe is from http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chai-cupcakes
This recipe is actually for chai cupcakes and frosting, so I just gave you the frosting without the extra spices. As a result, you may want slightly more vanilla.

Ingredients:

Unfortunately, this picture is from the internet.

• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 to 4 tablespoons 2% milk

In a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy; beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and remaining spice mixture until smooth. Add enough milk to reach desired consistency. Pipe frosting over cupcakes.

Frost, and enjoy! 

You can always add food coloring, (do this at the end), or mix a little other flavor, like cloves, cinnamon. . . in the frosting too.

Have fun baking!
