VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING (FROM SPRINKLES CUPCAKES)
My sister got this buttercream frosting off the box of a Sprinkles Cupcake mix, 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. :)

Steps:
- With an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce speed to medium. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed; after every two additions, raise speed to high and beat 10 seconds to aerate frosting, then return to medium-high. This process should take about 5 minutes. Frosting will be very pale and fluffy.
- Add vanilla, and beat until frosting is smooth. If not using immediately, frosting can be refrigerated up to 10 days in an airtight container. Before using, bring to room temperature, and beat on low speed until smooth again, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Use the right consistency of icing: If the icing is too thick, it will be difficult to spread and may cause crumbs to stick to the cupcakes. If the icing is too thin, it will run off the cupcakes and make them look messy.
- Ice the cupcakes evenly: Use a piping bag or spatula to spread the icing evenly over the cupcakes. Make sure to cover the entire cupcake, including the sides.
- Use a variety of toppings: Sprinkles, chopped nuts, and candy are all great ways to add a festive touch to your cupcakes. You can also use edible flowers or fruit to decorate the cupcakes.
- Make sure the cupcakes are cool before icing: If the cupcakes are still warm, the icing will melt and become runny.
- Store the iced cupcakes properly: Iced cupcakes should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you're sure to create delicious and beautiful cupcakes that will be a hit at your next party or gathering. So get creative and have fun!
