TIPS FOR A LIGHT AND FLUFFY FROSTING

• Good ingredients “real” butter not margarine
• Room temperature ingredients
• Be patient…you’ll need to whip the frosting at least 3 to 5 minutes (sometimes I do this step twice).  This will allow air to incorporate into the butter and create the lightness you want.
• That’s it!  It’s really not as hard as you might think

I love making cupcakes and cake from scratch, but if you find yourself in a time crunch or you don’t feel like messing with making the cupcakes or cake and the frosting from scratch.  PLEASE make the frosting!  You can add things to a cake mix to help with the flavor but there’s just nothing like homemade frosting.  Click here for ideas on how you can transform a cake mix—->>>>22 WAYS TO MAKE A CAKE MIX TASTE LIKE HOMEMADE.

You can freeze frosting?  Making homemade cupcakes and frosting just got a whole lot easier!  To freeze your frosting:  Spoon the frosting into a labeled zip top bag and freeze.  When ready to use, place the bag on the counter to come to room temperature.  Spoon into a large mixing bowl.  Whip on medium high for 3 to 5 minutes.  This is to incorporate air into the frosting for a light and fluffy texture.
