SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
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.

Steps:
- Beat butter and shortening together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Beat the vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Add sugar, one cup at a time, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high until fully incorporated and you have frosting.

Steps:
- In large mixing bowl with paddle attachment (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer) beat together shortening and butter.
- Add vanilla and with mixer on low add your powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing after each cup is added. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl frequently.
- When all sugar has been added frosting will appear dry. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time until you get your desired consistency (2-3 tbsps of milk give me the desired consistency I need for piping). Increase mixer speed to medium/medium high and beat for 4-5 minutes.
- If not using right away or you have to step away for a few minutes cover the bowl with a damp cloth to keep frosting from getting too dry. This frosting can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For thin spreading consistency add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup or milk.
- For pure white frosting (stiff consistency) omit butter and substitute an additional 1/2 cup shortening for the butter and 1/2 teaspoon no color butter flavoring. Add up to 4 tablespoons light corn syrup or milk to thin for frosting cakes.
- For Chocolate Frosting: Add 3/4 cup unsweet cocoa or 3-1 ounce squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted. Add an additional 1-2 tablespoons milk.
