Making your own frosting is easy with the right frosting recipes, it is also more economical, tastier, healthier and convenient. Preservative free frosting just like Grandma used to make looks better, tastes better and will give you a sense of achievement.
Store bought frostings are just another indication of how we Americans expect to have everything ready made and out of a tube. The rule of thumb should be if Grandma didn't recognize it as being food then it isn't. Can you imagine her looking for cheese in a store and buying it in a tube? That is not how cheese is supposed to look, and neither is frosting.
Home made frosting is simple to make, and today we have so many kitchen appliances to help us. Think of this, use the appliance; make frosting, rinse and place in dishwasher. Total time expended 10 minutes, cost of frosting, negligible. Drive to store, 10 minutes, shop for frosting, 10 minutes, stand in queue and pay, 10 minutes, drive home 10 minutes. Cost of frosting, your time 40 minutes plenty dollars for both frosting and gas.
Just make use of a single frosting recipe you and your family enjoy, change the color and flavor to suite your needs and hey presto, you have the best frosting in the world, just like Grandma made. If you want different colors and flavors, split the batch, use cream cheese instead of butter, add fresh blueberries, lemon or orange zest and juice or strawberries for color and flavor. Add chocolate for that flavor we all know and love and go crazy.
Delicious, fast and easy, home made frosting can be whipped up in many different flavors using a basic recipe. All kinds of plain store bought cookies can be frosted to tart them up, cup cakes, brownies and cakes can be frosted to make them taste extra special.
A couple of tips include, don't use granulated sugar, your frosting won't work, use "confectioners" sugar, one can't be substituted for the other. Use butter, not margarine, and only frost your cakes after they have cooled down completely. - 24553
