hello and welcome back to in the kitchen with Matt I am your host Matt
Taylor today I'm going to show you how to make a classic buttercream frosting
oh yeah buttercream frosting is a staple for
cupcakes and cakes and it's very versatile you can add food coloring to
it you can add different extracts not just vanilla and get some different
flavors out of it if you want really easy to do simple ingredients if I can
do it you can do it before we move on make sure to subscribe to my channel and
hit that notification valve so you won't miss out on any of my new videos let's
get started to start I have 1/2 cup of softened
room-temperature butter and I'm going to add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to
that down below in the video description I'm going to add the ingredients on all
there amounts now let's cream these together
make sure they're nice and combined and then we're
gonna scrape the sides with a spatula nice and now we're gonna slowly
incorporate power our four cups of confectioner's sugar or powdered sugar
scraping down the sides as needed now we gotta to this day just very very thick
now you just slowly add your milk until you get it to the consistency that you
want if you want a really thick frosting you could leave it like that I got three
tablespoons of milk here but we're not gonna use it all probably I'll just do a
little bit like that first that's pretty
good like that it's a nice thick frosting I'm gonna add just a tiny bit
more milk I think
that's pretty awesome so I'm gonna be using about about two tablespoons of my
milk again you could use all of it you can add more milk or you can use the
less totally up to you now I'm going to remove the beaters our frosting is done
ready to go in a piping bag or you can use a spatula and put it on your cake or
your cupcakes I am gonna use a piping bag this time and a little trick that
you can do is hold your piping bag finding out the middle gonna take your
other hand and just fold it over your hand like this okay and move it on the
inside and there you go you could also put it over a glass and that pretty much
does the same thing I'm just using a reusable Wilton piping bag they're
pretty cheap I'll put a link down below we can get these or you can get the more
fancy piping bags I have one of those as well and you just take your frosting put
it in there this recipe makes enough frosting for about 24 cupcakes or a
standard two layered 9-inch cake then we're just gonna twist the top and then
you can put a rubber band on the top I'm gonna frost the cake cupcakes I have a
star tip on there makes a really nice design yummy there we have it classic
buttercream frosting really easy to do if I can do it you can do it
