Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (From Sprinkles Cupcakes)
RECIPE BY: Chrissy T.
My sister got this off the box of a Sprinkles Cupcake mix who were made famous by Oprah. My sister said this was amazing. Update: I have finally gotten around to making this myself. I will say, that I don't like my desserts overly sweet, and though this was very good, I think I would probably decrease the amount of sugar for my personal taste. I'm glad everyone else has liked it as is, though.

I don't believe I've ever had buttercream frosting. It's not the type of thing I would normally eat for the last several years and my memory of childhood frosting used Crisco, something I wouldn't even consider now in this quantity. It took a bit of getting used to but after some adjustments and a spatulaful or two, the butter version grew on me. ; ) I turned half the batch into chocolate by adding 1/2 cup cocoa. I liked that best, being a chocoholic. I think cream cheese is my frosting of choice but this is a perfectly acceptable substitute for butter fans.

This is WONDERFUL! So simple to make, and it comes out so smooth and creamy. I was skeptical about the low amount of liquid added, but it comes out perfect. I used this to decorate Halloween cupcakes. Thanks for posting this!

Great simple recipe. I added more powdered sugar for a stiffer frosting. The second time I made it I used almond extract in place of vanilla for an almond buttercream and it came out perfect as well!
