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.

REALLY, REALLY GOOD (AND EASY!) BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
First off, I have to give all credit to the Confessions of a Cookbook Queen blog, because that's where I found this recipe. It is the best country (non-cook) buttercream frosting that I have ever had. If you're decorating a cake or cupcakes, it also holds up well. I guessed on the yield, but this recipe will easily frost 24 cupcakes.

Steps:
- Put butter, milk, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer (if you don't have a stand mixer, a hand mixer will do).
- Mix on low speed until it just starts to come together, about a minute.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Increase to medium low speed and beat for about another minute.
- Increase mixer speed to medium high and beat for about another or minute or so.
- Add powdered sugar (and cocoa, if using). Beat on low speed until sugar is just barely incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and increase speed slowly to medium. Beat for about a minute.
- Check your consistency. This is very important because if your frosting is too thick, it will not spread well.
- If your spatula does not glide through the frosting, add about a tablespoon of corn syrup and beat on medium for about 30 seconds.
- When the frosting is just holding its shape, it is too thick (if you are wanting to pipe some decorations on your cake/cupcakes, now would be the time to set a little of this aside in a separate bowl).
- Add another tablespoon of corn syrup and beat on medium for 30 seconds.
- Repeat until the frosting seems to be of a good spreadable consistency (you don't want it too runny, or it will slide off the cake/cupcakes).
- Once you get your frosting to a good, spreadable consistency, increase mixer speed to medium high and beat for one minute. This will get your frosting nice and fluffy.

- Chocolate Buttercream. As much as I love my vanilla American buttercream, this chocolate buttercream is just as good, if not better! To make my chocolate buttercream rich and creamy I add in the perfect amount of unsweetened cocoa powder and melted chocolate!
- Best Cream Cheese Frosting. My best ever cream cheese frosting has all the tang from cream cheese, but is sturdy like my classic American buttercream.
- Lavender Buttercream. My lavender buttercream recipe uses a Swiss meringue buttercream base and isn’t super sweet, so it lets the flavor of the lavender SHINE!
- Brown Butter Buttercream. This brown butter buttercream frosting is packed with a toasty, decadent flavor and is the perfect way to step up your frosting game.
- Strawberry Buttercream. This strawberry buttercream recipe is packed with REAL strawberry flavor, and it couldn’t taste more delicious and fresh! The secret to this recipe is strawberry powder– it’s made from real, freeze-dried strawberries.
