So I make cupcakes all the time, probably once a week, and I still have never took the jump of trying to make my own frosting...until today. I made a great Carrot Cake cupcake and I decided to take the dive and give a frosting from scratch a try. MAN, HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT! It is soo ridiculously easy to make your own frosting and it tastes a million times better than the store bought varieties. Give it a try and indulge....
Beat 8 oz. cold cream cheese (not rock solid, but it means you can use it straight out of the refrigerator) with 5 Tbsp. softened butter and 2 tsp. vanilla until combined. Gradually add 2 c. powdered sugar that has been sifted after measuring. Continue to add more sifted powdered sugar until you reach a consistency and sweetness that fits your taste.
( I added 3 sifted cups)
I also finally got a frosting tip so I tried out a few designs that will need to be perfected of course :)
