Basic Buttercream
Frosting
Use this on cakes and cupcakes. It can be piped
or spread. Add color and flavor to it to fit your
project. We use Americolor color gels and
Marsden and Bathe flavors. This buttercream
frosting is stable in all but the warmest
weather.
Buttercream frosting is made with shortening
or butter or a combination of both. This
recipe has a high percentage of butter for
flavor. Butter has a lower melting point than
shortening and so a stabilizer is required.
Butter also tints the frosting to off-white. If you
want a pure white frosting, you will need to go
to all shortening or add white food color. You
can buy white vanilla so that the vanilla does
not tint your frosting.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup shortening
1 pound powdered sugar
2 tablespoons meringue powder
1 teaspoon flavor or extract of your choice
a couple tablespoons of milk as needed for
consistency
optional food color gel
Directions
1. With the paddle attachment and your
stand-type mixer, beat the butter,
shortening, powdered sugar, and
meringue powder together.
2. Add the flavor and color. Beat the
frosting, adding enough milk to reach the
desired consistency.
Bakers note: Apply your buttercream frosting
at room temperature. You can spread on a
thick coating of frosting with a spatula or pipe
it on with a pastry bag and either a star tip or
a round tip.
Your frosting may be stored in the
refrigerator for up to three days.
Chocolate Buttercream
Frosting
This is the sister recipe to our basic
buttercream recipe. It is perfect for cakes and
cupcakes.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup shortening
1 pound powdered sugar
2 tablespoons meringue powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips or dark
chocolate wafers
milk as needed for consistency
Directions
1. With the paddle attachment and your
stand-type mixer, beat the butter,
shortening, powdered sugar, and
meringue powder together. Add the
vanilla.
2. Beat the frosting, adding enough milk to
reach just to reach a stiff consistency.
3. Melt the chocolate and let it cool
slightly. (If the chocolate is too cool, it
will solidify before combining with the
frosting.) Mix the chocolate into about
one-fourth of the frosting.
4. Combine the chocolate frosting with
the rest of the frosting. Add more
milk, if necessary, to reach the desired
consistency.
Ingredients
1 cup (2 cubes) butter, softened
3/4 cup Ramstadt Breda Medium Dark
Cocoa or equal
5 cups powdered sugar

It should be just amber in color, not dark
brown.
2. Let the browned butter cool for a few
minutes then pour the clearer liquid
off the top into a small bowl leaving
the dark solids and a little liquid in the
pan. Place the browned butter in the
refrigerator to cool for about an hour. It
should cool to a gel.
3. Add the flavor and browned butter to
the powdered sugar in a large bowl.
Whip with an electric mixer. Thin with
additions of milk as needed.

Eggnog Cupcakes
We used our Vanilla Bean Baby Cakes cake
mix and added eggnog to both the mix and
the frosting. Pretty simple. Could you use a
white cake mix from the store? I think so but
I dont think those mixes would work quite as
well. Most of them are really light and airy, not
much substance. The frosting and the cream
filling tends to overwhelm the light cakenot
enough balance. The baby cakes mix is a
cream cake mix, denser and moister so you get
more cake in each bite. I dont think the store
mixes would be bad though. If you go that
way, reduce the amount of frosting and filling
that you use. This mix makes 18 cupcakes.
Youll have frosting and Bavarian cream left
over for your next project.
Ingredients
Vanilla Bean Baby Cakes Cake Mix or
equivalent
1/2 cup eggnog
4 teaspoons Butter Rum flavor
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
Bavarian Crme Pastry Filling
Sweet Sensations Buttercream Frosting
Base or equivalent
Eggnog, enough to replace water in
frosting recipe
2 teaspoons Butter Rum flavor
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
1. Make the cake mix per directions except
substitute eggnog for water. Add the
butter rum flavor and nutmeg. Bake as
directed.
2. Cut a 1/4-inch corner off the dispenser
pack of pastry filling. Insert the cut
corner into the center of the cupcake to a
depth of about 1/2-inch.
3. Squeeze the dispenser bag so that the
Bavarian cream flows from the bag into
the cupcake. You will feel the cupcake
swell and get heavier. Store your leftover
filling in the refrigerator.
4. Make the frosting per the directions on
the package but substitute eggnog for
the water. Add the butter rum flavor and
nutmeg.
5. Frost the cupcakes with a pastry bag or
spread a thick layer of frosting on the
cupcakes with knife. Sprinkle with a
little cinnamon or nutmeg as a garnish if
desired.

These are really luscious. It takes a few minutes for the dipping but theyre worth it.
You can put a coating of chocolate over just
about any cupcake, even frosted ones. You
simply dip the cupcakes, upside down, in
chocolate to cover the tops.
As soft as buttercream frosting is, you can dip
buttercream frosted cupcakes in chocolate. In
fact, theyre the best. While the chocolate is
still soft, you can sprinkle on chopped nuts or
candies.
So you can take your favorite cupcakessay
chocolate cherry cupcakes or the eggnog cupcakes found in this bookand coat them with
chocolate.
Recently we made chocolate cupcakes with
vanilla buttercream and dipped them in chocolate. Then we made chocolate cherry cheesecake cupcakes and dipped them in chocolate.
Then we made peanut butter cupcakes and
dipped them in chocolate and topped them
with chopped peanuts. You get the idea.
22
Chocolate Ganache
We use this chocolate ganache recipe for most
of our chocolate coated cupcakes. Use this
recipe and a good quality of chocolate. We
recommend wafers, not chips, since wafers are
made with a better chocolate and are of candymaking quality. You may thin your ganache
with more cream.
You will need:
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces semisweet or dark chocolate, cut
into pieces
4 tablespoons butter
Bring the cream to a boil. Remove from the
heat and add the vanilla. In a medium bowl,
pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Stir
until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the butter.
Let the ganache cool until it reaches a desired
thick consistency.
You can heat it or cool it as needed to get a
thick coating.

or melted caramels or candies for the top layer

Luscious Lingonberry
Cupcakes
Elki makes great sauces and jamswhich we
sell. We took their recipe for lingonberry cake
and modified it to make these lingonberry
cupcakes.
Madalyn Luthy of Love at First Bite in Idaho
Falls decorated these for us. She put lingonberry jam on each cupcake, then piped on pink
buttercream frosting and topped them with red
balls of rolled fondant to look like berries. She
used Americolor Super Red Food Color Gel
for the color. To get the sugar to adhere, she
dipped them in water before rolling them in
granulated sugar.
We suspect that this recipe would also be good
with other berry jams such as loganberry or
bodacious berry.
Ingredients
3 cups cake or pastry flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons Raspberry flavor
4 large eggs
1 cup Lingonberry jam
