Description:
Experimenting with this simple recipe has been the basis of all my cupcake exploration so far. I hope to try some other delicious variations soon! What’s your best cupcake recipe?
Ingredients:
125g butter, softened (or margarine etc.)
A big bag of icing sugar
1 tablespoon of milk (soy, almond, etc.)
Directions:
Combine the butter, milk & icing sugar until it is thick enough that it won’t drizzle out of the end of your icing nozzle. It needs to be thick. I don’t know how much icing sugar I use, all I know is that it is a lot. I think I went through a massive bag of icing sugar by making two batches of icing. FEAR! Anyway, stir it up, mix it through well. Add food colouring & flavour. My favourite things to add are either rosewater essence or lavender essential oil, but of course you can really make it taste like anything you want.
Spoon your icing into an icing bag, or if you don’t have one, spoon it into the corner of a (clean) plastic bag & snip off a bottom corner. Ice, ice baby! Frost your cupcakes with gay abandon. I tend to do mine in a circular motion, & then splatter fun things on top, like edible glitter, nonpareils, etc.
If you can find a specialty cake decoration or baking shop, your cupcakes will look much better & be about a million times more exciting!
