the man says it right:
"Let's hit up Magnolia and mack on some cupcakes
Yo man that bakery has got all da bomb frosting
I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Josling."
It's true, one bite and love, mirrored only by that portrayed in The Notebook, ensues. This is something Sarah made that really impressed me. I feel like a lot of homemade buttercream frostings are just not quite right. this, on the other hand, is very very right. it's great on cupcakes or just poured over a whole cake.
you got a backpack? gonna pack it up nice.
i told you that i'm crazy for these cupcakes, cousin.
girl acted like she'd never seen a ten befo'.
MAGNOLIA BAKERY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
1 cup (2 sticks)
unsalted butter, softened
6 to 8 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup milk (whole is preferred)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of the sugar and then the milk and vanilla. On the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition (about 2 minutes), until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency. You may not need to add all of the sugar. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly. (Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled.) Icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
