SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
I decided on a whim yesterday that I wanted to make cupcakes for Canada Day. I didn't have time to buy frosting before getting ready for the fireworks show, so I ended up making my own with ingredients I already had. I was shocked at how quick and easy this was! This basic vanilla recipe makes enough to cover a dozen cupcakes, but feel free to double it (for cakes), triple it, add food coloring or different flavor extracts. If you find this too sweet, you can add a dash of salt to the milk or the vanilla. Personally I like it sweet, and I used salted butter, so I didn't find it necessary.

Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high until fully incorporated and you have frosting.

Steps:
- In large mixing bowl with paddle attachment (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer) beat together shortening and butter.
- Add vanilla and with mixer on low add your powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing after each cup is added. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl frequently.
- When all sugar has been added frosting will appear dry. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time until you get your desired consistency (2-3 tbsps of milk give me the desired consistency I need for piping). Increase mixer speed to medium/medium high and beat for 4-5 minutes.
- If not using right away or you have to step away for a few minutes cover the bowl with a damp cloth to keep frosting from getting too dry. This frosting can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For thin spreading consistency add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup or milk.
- For pure white frosting (stiff consistency) omit butter and substitute an additional 1/2 cup shortening for the butter and 1/2 teaspoon no color butter flavoring. Add up to 4 tablespoons light corn syrup or milk to thin for frosting cakes.
- For Chocolate Frosting: Add 3/4 cup unsweet cocoa or 3-1 ounce squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted. Add an additional 1-2 tablespoons milk.

EASIEST, MOST DELICIOUS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM
I have tried every meringue buttercream recipe I could get my hands on over the years. I make it to decorate all our children's (and husband's) cakes and cupcakes. This is my recipe. It is easy, quick, and perfect: perfect for frosting, decorating, and eating. It is delicious. This makes a generous amount. You will not run out when frosting and decorating two 9 inch round cakes.

Steps:
- Place the egg whites and sugar into a metal bowl and set over a pan filled with about 2 inches of simmering water. Heat, stirring frequently, until the temperature of the egg whites reaches 140 degrees. They will feel very hot to the touch.
- Transfer the heated egg whites and sugar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Mix at high speed (or as high as you can go without egg flying out of the bowl) until they have reached their maximum volume, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix on medium or medium-high speed while pinching off small pieces of butter and throwing them in. Mix in vanilla if using. The buttercream may look like it is breaking down, but keep on mixing and it will come back together.

DELICIOUS BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a wire whip, or in a bowl with a hand mixer, beat the egg yolks at medium-high speed until creamy and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Using a bit of the butter, lightly grease the inside of a heatproof measuring cup and position it alongside the stove top. In a nonstick saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a full rolling boil without stirring. Immediately pour the mixture into the buttered measuring cup to halt the cooking. If using a hand mixer, with the mixer running at high speed, slowly drizzle the syrup into the eggs in a steady stream. Avoid hitting the beaters with the syrup while pouring. If using a stand mixer, turn off the mixer (to avoid the whip splattering the syrup onto the bowl walls). Add a small amount of the syrup to the beaten egg yolks, turn on the mixer to high speed, and beat for about 5 seconds. Continue stopping the mixer, adding syrup, and beating in the same manner until all of the syrup is incorporated and the mixture is cooled completely. Add the remaining butter, 1 piece at a time, and beat until incorporated before adding the next piece. When all of the butter has been blended in, add the vanilla and enough food coloring (if using) to achieve the desired color, then blend well. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week; return to room temperature and rebeat if necessary to achieve spreading consistency before using.
