Rose-Flavored Buttercream Frosting/Icing for Cupcakes image

Rosewater has the same potency as vanilla extract and can be easily subbed 1:1 in recipes that use vanilla, but has a stronger flavor. I love buttercream frosting and wanted to share this discovering by sharing my stand-by recipe fixed for making it a rose flavor. Makes enough to frost about 24 cupcakes. This is a nice change from vanilla frosting! Prep time doesn't include butter softening time.

Time 15m

Yield 24 cupcake servings, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb confectioners' sugar (approx 3-4 cups, to be beat in gradually)
1/2 cup salted butter, softened at least 20-30 minutes
1 teaspoon rose water
2 -4 tablespoons milk (approx, see directions)
3 -4 drops red food coloring

Steps:

  • If you use unsalted butter-- add a couple shakes of table salt. It helps bind the frosting better and make it hold shape and last longer. Make sure the butter is good and soft too or else it won't mix right!
  • With an electric mixer, cream the butter with 1 cup confectioners sugar and a little milk. Just enough milk that it gets the mixture to go. Beat in the rosewater.
  • Keep adding confectioners sugar and milk, and beating on high, until you have a nice frosting consistency.
  • Add a few drops of red food coloring to dye it pink.

This frosting is a bit too runny for my taste. I would recommend chilling it for a bit before using it.

I'm not a fan of rose flavor, but I actually really liked this frosting. It's not too overpowering, and it pairs well with the sweetness of the frosting.

I had some trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was either too runny or too thick. I eventually got it right, but it took some trial and error.

This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar, or even omitting it altogether.
