Buttercream
A brief tutorial on cupcakes and buttercream icing.
I needed to make a small batch of cupcakes for a man at church, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to both try out The Pioneer Woman's Best Chocolate Sheet Cake Ever and to show you a small tutorial on how I make buttercream icing and how to pipe it onto cupcakes. I felt the need to try this recipe because I have heard so many wonderful things about it, but I wanted to try it in cupcake form, so I halved the recipe. Here's the recipe and the following pictures that I took during the process.
My favorite buttercream icing
One of my very favorite icing's is white chocolate buttercream. I wanted to share this recipe with everyone because it is super easy to make and is so delicious. I use it on everything from devil's food cake to french vanilla cake and it complements fruity fillings and cakes very well too.Red Velvet with White and Semi Sweet Chocolate Buttercream Frostings

Jacqua Buttercream Frosting Body Lotion
This lotion is sweet and delicious, without being overpowering. I absolutely love it worn alone or layering under a soft floral fragrance. I haven't been able to find anything else that meets my need for a sweet sugary scent without smelling chemically or too manufactured.It's Gonna Be A Cake Disaster *updated*
Help! We are getting ready to do a joint celebration of my parent's birthdays next weekend. I am going to attempt to make a birthday cake that pleases them both. Problem is, my dad likes chocolate cake while my mom likes a plain ole white cake. And I am in dire need of a cook buttercream recipe that doesn't use shortening.Pretty Petal Cake
This is a cake I just finished. It is french vanilla with buttercream and covered with marshmallow fondant. I added tylose powder to the fondant to make the flowers and rope border.
Golfing Cake
This is a cake a made for a boy's birthday. It is white cake with butter cream icing, covered in Marshmallow Fondant. I wish a had a little more time on this cake to make a fondant golfer, but this plastic one had to do.
