Frosting Recipes, Take The Time To Make Your Own
Buying ready made frosting from the stores is unnecessary, expensive and not even all that much more convenient. Whereas using frosting recipes to make your own, will taste better, be free of preservatives and other artificial ingredients and give you a sense of achievement. They look better, taste better and contain more of the good stuff.
Store bought frostings are just another indication of how we Americans expect to have everything ready made and out of a tube. The rule of thumb should be if Grandma didn't recognize it as being food then it isn't. Can you imagine her looking for cheese in a store and buying it in a tube? That is not how cheese is supposed to look, and neither is frosting.
Frosting does not take a huge amount of time to make and with the great kitchen appliances we now have, it is even easier and quicker to make. The appliance just goes in the dishwasher afterwards, so it is no extra work. Home made frosting, even using the gadgets instead of a wooden spoon and bowl, will still taste just as good at the frosting you remember your Grandma making, and you don't want to deprive your children of this one small pleasure.
There are butter cream frosting recipes, which can be used as a basic and changed according to needs. If you want a batch of chocolate, lemon and strawberry, make up a batch of one mixture and divide it into three to get your different colors and flavors. Use cream cheese instead of butter and get a great alternative for health and carrot cakes.
Delicious, fast and easy, home made frosting can be whipped up in many different flavors using a basic recipe. All kinds of plain store bought cookies can be frosted to tart them up, cup cakes, brownies and cakes can be frosted to make them taste extra special.
A couple of tips include, don't use granulated sugar, your frosting won't work, use "confectioners" sugar, one can't be substituted for the other. Use butter, not margarine, and only frost your cakes after they have cooled down completely.
