Kim Morrisons Real Vanilla Buttercream Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
• Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

Steps:

• Place the butter and shortening into the bowl of a stand mixer and, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter on high until light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well combined, approximately 1 minute. Turn off the mixer and add 1/2 cup of the sugar. Mix on low until combined. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Repeat until all of the sugar has been incorporated. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and light, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 hours or refrigerate for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before using.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), beat the confectioners' sugar together with the butter until well combined. Add the heavy cream and continue to beat until extremely light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla until combined.

Steps:

• Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the butter until it is smooth. Add the cream cheese and blend it together until there are no lumps. Then add the vanilla. Use the spatula to push down anything sticking to the sides of the bowl.
• Mix in the confectioners' sugar a little bit at a time on the lowest speed - otherwise it will fly everywhere! Use the spatula to push down anything sticking to the sides of the bowl.
• Use the frosting right away. Technically it will last at least a week in the refrigerator (bring to room temperature before using), but fresh frosting is key! It tastes and feels so much better.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk.
• Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Frosts 13x9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts an 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake.
