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.

EASY BUTTERCREAM ICING
This is the icing recipe I used when taking Wilton cake decorating classes. It works really well. Since it doesn't have butter in it the icing is more stable, and won't melt therefore works great when the cake is going to be left out. You can store it in the fridge in a airtight container for a month, you will just have to whip it again. I've made the recipe for my vegan friends by removing the meringue powder. For a chocolate version mix in 3/4 cup cocoa. Colours very well, but use food colouring gel so you don't change the consistency. The thin consistency recipe will cover about an 8 inch round cake or 24 cupcakes.

FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
The secret of this light frosting is to mix it with a mixer for the recommended time at high speed. This incorporates air to make it light. 1-1/2 cups frosting is enough to frost the top of one 9 inch cake.
