BASIC VANILLA BUTTERCREAM
Ask any pastry chef about frostings and they'll tell you that there's nothing like a good basic vanilla buttercream. This American-style vanilla buttercream from chef Billy Reece of Billy's Bakery in NYC requires just four ingredients and comes together in just about as many minutes. Smooth, fluffy, and creamy, it's ideal for all kinds of cakes, from cupcakes to multi-layered confections.

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.

CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING SHOTS
At a handful of cupcake storefronts around the country, the frosting shot has emerged as a short-but-sweet pick-me-up for urbanites and college students. The gist is generally the same bakery to bakery: For a small fee, customers get a dollop of their favorite frosting in a paper or plastic cup, about the size of a frozen yogurt sample. While some bakeries keep the frosting shot a strictly must-ask-for item, several cupcake shops have made it an official menu offering. Using marshmallow creme as the base of this faux buttercream frosting is a great cheat. This frosting whips up thick and chocolately and is great served as shots garnished with shaved dark chocolate. These are great for parties. Recipe is from a newspaper article.

BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- In small saucepan, combine sugar with 1/3 cup water, and cream of tartar. Stir to wet sugar. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, covered, without stirring, for about 1 minute to dissolve sugar. Uncover and wash down the sides of the saucepan with a wet pastry brush. Cook until syrup registers 242 degrees (the upper end of the soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer. Or cook until you can blow a bubble (resembling a soap bubble) by dipping a slotted spoon into the syrup, holding it up, and blowing gently but steadily through it.
- Meanwhile, in a heatproof, stovetop-safe bowl (a stainless steel electric mixer bowl is ideal, otherwise a stainless steel bowl suitable for using with a hand held electric mixer) beat eggs until pale and thick; set aside. Just before syrup reaches 242 degrees, begin beating eggs again on medium speed. When the syrup is ready, remove it from the heat and pour it in a thin steady stream over the eggs, beating constantly. To avoid splashing hot syrup on yourself or all around the sides of the bowl, pour it next to the beaters. Stop beating and place mixture on the stove over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk (to avoid scrambling the eggs) until mixture registers at least 160 degrees on insta-read thermometer, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and continue beating with an electric mixer until mixture cools to room temperature.
- Divide butter into 1-tablespoon sized lumps. Add butter, a few pieces at a time, continuing to beat until mixture is smooth and spreadable.
CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING... SHOTS?
I was reading a feature in our paper on frosting shots- yes, frosting shots! Apparently in some cities this is catching on quite fast. I clipped this recipe and have been moving it from here to there for a month. I thought I better post it for safe keeping. I personally would use this on a chocolate cake, but for the brave, pipe into small paper souffle cups and toss it back like a shot! I was able to frost a 9x13 cake and I believe this would be enough to frost 24 cupcakes or as the article stated, 30 frosting shots.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Butter the base and sides of two 20cm cake tins (4cm deep) and line with baking parchment. Put the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat for 2-3 mins until pale, light and fluffy. Alternatively, do this in a bowl using an electric whisk. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition until fully incorporated.
- Mix the cocoa powder, vanilla extract and red food colouring gel together in a small bowl or jug with 2-3 tbsp hot water until you have a smooth, lump-free paste. Tip this into the bowl with the cake batter and whisk briefly to combine.
- Mix the vinegar and buttermilk together in a jug. Combine the flour, bicarb and 1 tsp salt in a bowl. Pour a third of the buttermilk mixture into the cake batter, then mix in along with a third of the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Alternate between the remaining buttermilk and flour mixtures, mixing these in a third at a time until everything is fully combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the cake batter equally between the prepared tins and bake for 30-35 mins until the sponges spring back when gently pressed with a fingertip and a skewer inserted into the centre of each comes out clean. Do not open the oven before 25 mins have elapsed, as this can cause the sponges to sink in the centre. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- To make the buttercream, clean out the bowl of the stand mixer, then tip in the butter and vanilla bean paste (or do this in a bowl using an electric whisk). Beat on high speed for about 1 min until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the icing sugar, about a quarter at a time, beating between each addition on a low speed until just incorporated. When all the icing sugar has been added, turn the speed up to high and beat for 1 min. Turn the speed back down to low, then tip in the soft cheese and beat until just combined and smooth.
- Split both of the cooled sponges through the middle using a cake leveller or large bread knife so you have four equally sized, thin layers. Spread a little buttercream over the middle of a 20cm round cake board and top with a sponge layer. Spread buttercream generously over the top of the sponge layer so it sticks out over the edge slightly. Top with a second sponge layer and repeat until you've used all the sponges, inverting the final sponge layer so that the top is flat. Spread any buttercream that's sticking out from between the sponge layers all around the side of the cake using a palette knife to seal the stack.
- Next, spread a thin, even layer of buttercream over the whole cake down to the cake board to seal it completely. Once you have covered the whole cake, clean the palette knife and go around the cake again to smooth the sides and remove any excess. This is called a crumb coat, which seals in any crumbs and will make the finished cake look neater. Chill the cake for at least 30 mins until firm and set.
- Spoon 300g of the remaining buttercream into a bowl and keep chilled to pipe with later. Spoon the rest of the buttercream over the top of the chilled cake (reserving a little to secure the cake to a cake stand), then use a palette knife to spread it to the edge and encourage it to drop slightly over the side. Then, hold the palette knife vertically against the side of the cake and smooth over the buttercream, turning the cake as you go so the side is covered in a thick, even layer (a cake turntable can help with this, if you have one, or see our tip, right). Once you've covered the side, you may wish to clean the palette knife and smooth the top and side again to ensure the buttercream is neat, or do this with a side scraper if you have one. Transfer the cake, on its board, to a cake stand using the reserved buttercream to secure it in place.
- Place the cake, on its stand, on a baking tray (this will catch any excess sprinkles). Press most of the sprinkles around the bottom third of the cake in a thick band, sticking a few up the side in places so it looks as though some have floated away from the band. Use a cutlery or palette knife to gently press the sprinkles into the cake to ensure they're secure, then carefully brush any excess from the stand using a pastry brush. Chill for 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, prepare the shimmering chocolate truffles, if using. Tip a few teaspoons of gold lustre dust into a small bowl, then do the same with the pink lustre dust in another bowl. Divide the chocolate truffles between the two bowls and turn with your fingertips or a teaspoon until fully coated in the lustre dust. Set aside on kitchen paper.
- When the cake is chilled and set, stir the 300g reserved buttercream with a spoon to soften and remove any air bubbles. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle, then pipe a thick, swirled border around the top of the cake (this doesn't need to be exact), then scatter the remaining few sprinkles all over the top of the cake and nestle the shimmering truffles in amongst the piped rosettes. Will keep in the fridge for three days.

A shot of frosting? Wait till the girls all hear about this!! They are served in the small paper candy cups, shot glass or similar. Serving size is based on small paper candy cups. The given time is a complete guesstimate as I haven't made this. This is supposed to make 20 but I have my doubts about that.

Steps:
- Whisk egg whites and sugar [and salt if using unsalted butter] together in a big metal bowl over a pot of simmering water.
- Whisk frequently until you can't feel the sugar granules when you rub the mixture between your fingers.
- Transfer mixture into the mixer and whip until it turns white and about doubles in size (here's a tip: when you transfer to the mixer, make sure you wipe the condensation off the bottom of the bowl that was over the water so that no water gets into the egg whites. This can keep them from whipping up properly.).
- Add the vanilla and powdered sugar.
- Finally, add the butter a pat at a time and whip the daylights out of it.
- Transfer frosting to cake decorating piping bag, pipe individual shots into paper candy cups, shot glass or similar. Serving size is based on small paper candy cups.

- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat on low for 1 minute. Add the cream, vanilla and almond extracts, then beat on high for 3 minutes or until completely smooth and creamy. Taste, then beat in a pinch of salt if needed. (It’s supposed to be very sweet!) The mixture will be very sticky. Cover the bowl tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. Chilling makes shaping the buttercream filling a little easier.
- Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Scoop 1 Tablespoon of the buttercream mixture and roll into a ball. Flatten the ball between your palms and use your fingers to thin out one end into an egg shape. The egg should be roughly 1/2 – 3/4 inch thick. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining buttercream mixture. The buttercream mixture may be a little crumbly, but the warmth of your hands will bring it together. If you find the buttercream mixture becoming too soft to handle, chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can powder your hands with confectioners’ sugar, which helps prevent the buttercream from sticking to your hands.
