How To Make Fluffy and Delicious Frosting – Baking Tips
I have some great news to share with you!
1. After a Jessiker Bakes’ (the business not the blog) meeting, you’re going to be seeing some great changes!
2. A great sale is coming up for Jessiker Bakes
3. The giveaway for the 50 GREAT spices is still on!
Forgive all the exclamation marks. I’m watching the Next Great Baker and a cake just collapsed. Not only did I scream outloud, but I’m still having a heart palpitation.
Yikes,
NOW, frosting! The truth is, I basically covered frosting yesterday. I just wanted to re-cap and all a few extra details.
Make Fluffy and Delicious Frosting
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (room temperature), 2 sticks
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk, half and half or cream
Instructions
- Using a mixer, cream softened butter and vanilla until smooth. Jessica's note: To soften butter, leave on the counter whole for about an hour before use, or 30 minutes if cubed. Always cut your butter in small cubes before putting into mixer, so that the butter will not only blend better, but won't fly everywhere from the mixer trying to cut it!
- Add sugar gradually, allowing butter and sugar to cream together before adding more. Jessica's note: Add the three cups in by 1/2 cup increments for a small bowl and 1 cup increments for a bigger one. If you have a splash guard, use it now! Sugar will be flying everywhere. You want to mix your frosting until it is WHITE.Yes, it will look yellow for a while, but after being beat for about 5 minutes it will turn white.This will work perfectly for adding colours so it won't have a yellow tinge.
- If you want your frosting a little creamier, add a teaspoon of milk at a time and beat on high until you get the right texture. Jessica's note: a little milk goes a long way. You don't want to end up watering down your frosting so remember, add a little at a time.

Muchas gracias Carmen. Gracias por leer!
This frosting is perfect. It’s absolutely delicious. The texture is right on. I substituted vanilla extract with almond extract (It’s my jam!) and put it on your chocolate cake, which is also pretty righteous.
Awesome so happy that you enjoyed it, Amanda! Thank you for your kind words!
