My Baking Addiction: Buttercream Frosting

Hey guys! Me again! I wanted to take today to post about a great blogger that I have seriously followed ever since I got into baking! She is awesome and I want you to check her out! She is a serious baker, but she also posts about her life on her blog too. She has lots of great and exciting ideas that I believe will make you get excited (I know it does for me). I will link her website down below so you can check it out.

Today, I am going to talk about one of her posts that I have lived by these last couple of years. Buttercream Frosting. When I was younger, I thought that frosting was the hardest thing to make. My grandma could always whip it up in seconds, but nope, not me. It took me so much longer, and I felt that it never tasted as good as hers did. If you have had the same issues that I have had, stop right here, because all of your problems are solved! I have lived by this recipe ever since I found it. It is so good and she has explained it so great on this post. I think that she is awesome because she tells you tips on what to do if a specific thing happens to it. For example, if it just isn't the right consistency (always the problem that I have), then just simply add milk or heavy cream to the frosting.

Seriously go check her out and let me know what you think of this recipe! If you see any other great recipes, link them below and I will try them out!

10 Different Ways to Revamp Boxed Brownies

Okay, who doesn't love good boxed brownies!? I recently just made some boxed brownies because we needed to make something for a 4th of July party. Before I was making them I thought that something just really needed to be done to them, and that is what made me think of this blog. I thought of a couple different ways that you can made your brownies a little more exciting so that it seems like you put more effort into them, and they are even more delicious! Here we go! 1. Duh, add some chocolate chips! Add about a cup of semi-sweet, peanut butter, milk, or mint chocolate chips to your brownie batter. This will vamp up your brownies and make them even more delicious! 2. Top them off with chocolate chips. Instead of putting the chips inside your batter, add them on top when the brownies are done. This will allow you to add just a little surprise to the brownies. 3. Top them off with frosting. This is kind of a no brainer, but it really makes your brownies extra yummy. You c

Frosting Cupcakes Tips

Frosting cupcakes is just about my favorite part of cupcakes altogether. Who didn't just lick the frosting off as a kid? Hello me. ANYWAYS. There are many tips to frost the perfect cupcake so let's dive right into them. First off, you must decide how you are going to frost your cupcake. By knife, piping bag or with your hands (this way gets a little messy). As I have grown as a baker, I always use Wilton Pastry Bags. I use different sizes just depending on how many cupcakes I am frosting, and how much frosting I made. I am just going to say, the bigger the better. If you fill a small one too full, frosting will explode out the top, and there will be a HUGE mess. Secondly, you must have the right tips for the bags if you decide to use them. There are many tips for many different things that you want to do with decorating. Here is my little reference in a picture that I use A LOT. It shows you the many different tips and what the frosting will look like when you use them.
