I love this frosting…it’s so good and easy to make!
Seriously, It’s so easy that you won’t need to buy store frosting again!
As Thanksgiving is only three days away, I thought it would be a nice idea to decorate these cupcakes as pumpkins. Certainly, they are going to give my table a different and special touch and the kids will love them.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 plain cupcakes. Recipe here
- 3-4 drops of orange food coloring
- 1 cup of orange sugar
- 12 pieces small of pretzel
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Add milk and vanilla extract until smooth. You can add a little more of sugar or a few more teaspoons of milk, as necessary, to achieve the ideal consistency.
- Add the food coloring and mix well.
- Top cupcakes with the frosting and then roll them over the orange sugar. Place a small pieces of pretzel in the middle.
Notes
The best way to ensure smooth frosting is to sift the confectioners' sugar before adding it to the softened butter.
If you do not like the buttery taste the solution is beat the butter at least 15 minutes until it looks almost like a foam.
