Easy Butter Cream Frosting Recipe
Ingredients:
5 tablespoons salted butter
5 tablespoons shortening
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Directions:
Beat butter and shortening together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Beat the vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Add sugar, one cup at a time, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high until fully incorporated and you have frosting.
Cupcake Directions:
Prepare Cupcakes according to box cake mix instructions
Using Buttercream frosting recipe dye your frosting with yellow food coloring until you reach the desired color. Save a small amount and dye that a bright orange.
Frost entire cupcake with yellow frosting, and dip into yellow sugar sprinkles. Add chocolate chips to make the eyes. You can also add a dab of white frosting to make the eyeball detail.
Using a rosette-frosting tip make “chick wings” on the sides and then sprinkle a small amount of the yellow sugar sprinkles on top. Then use a small amount of your orange frosting to make a beak and feet for your chick.
