Swirlfrosting Recipes

BASIC VANILLA FROSTING

Steps:

• Combine ingredients and beat on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.

FLUFFY VANILLA FROSTING

Steps:

• With an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce speed to medium. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed; after every two additions, raise speed to high and beat 10 seconds to aerate frosting, then return to medium-high. This process should take about 5 minutes. Frosting will be very pale and fluffy.
• Add vanilla, and beat until frosting is smooth. If not using immediately, frosting can be refrigerated up to 10 days in an airtight container. Before using, bring to room temperature, and beat on low speed until smooth again, about 5 minutes.

THE BEST LEMON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• In a mixer, add the butter and the lemon juice.
• Cream together on low speed until they are completely combined.
• Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is creamy.
• Add the lemon zest and 1 small drop of yellow food coloring (if desired)
• Continue to mix.
• If the frosting is too runny, add 1/2 cup additional powdered sugar. Keep adding powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until you have the frosting at the desired consistency.

HOW TO MAKE GALAXY FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat together the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl. Blend well on high speed for about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
• Add two cups of the confectioners' sugar at a time. Blend for an additional 2-3 minutes on medium high speed. Mix between each stir until the frosting comes out smooth with no confectioners' sugar streaks.
• Divide the frosting into 4 medium-sized bowls.
• Add the food coloring gel. Add in 3 drops of dark blue, 2 drops of purple, and 1 drop of pink and light blue. Stir with a clean spoon into each bowl. Mix until the color is bright and vibrant.
• Sprinkle edible glitter or disco dust to the frosting. Mix with a spoon until fully combined.
• Scoop the different colored frosting into a frosting pipe. Spoon a tablespoon at a time of each color until no frosting remains and the frosting pipe is full. For easier handling, place the frosting pipe in a tall glass to prevent gel food coloring stains on other objects.
• Serve. Pipe the galaxy frosting onto your favorite desserts for a galactic effect. Enjoy!

THE BEST RASPBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Puree the raspberries and then run the pureed raspberries through a sieve. (You should have 1/2 cup of Raspberry puree.)
• Add the softened butter and the raspberry puree and mix until they are completely combined.
• Add half of the powdered sugar.
• Continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is creamy.
• If the frosting is too thin, add 1/2 cup additional powdered sugar. Keep adding powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until you have the frosting at the desired consistency.
• If the frosting is too thick/dry, put a little bit of water in the raspberry puree container that you used and then add this liquid to the frosting 1 tsp. at a time until you get the desired consistency.
