When it comes to all things in the baking world, one of my favorites has always been frosting.  Sweet, delicious, creamy, wonderful, buttercream frosting.   I’ve often joked that cupcakes are simply carriers for frosting.  It’s all about the frosting.   Which is why I decided it was about time that my pop making focused on my favorite part of this baking game.  The buttercream.

When it comes to frosting I very rarely, if ever, use a recipe.  It’s one of those things that I just eyeball and it is probably a bit different each and every time I make it.   I get quite a few requests for frosting recipes, so I figure I should probably share an actual recipe. Here is what most of my batches of frosting start off with… I loosely follow the recipe on the back of the C&H Powdered Sugar {Read More}
