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. :)

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!
