Best buttercream frosting i've ever made.
I made a batch of Special Buttercream Frosting tonight. SO yummy. I believe in Crisco shortening now.
I did tweak the recipe a little based on the reviews. First off, I only made half a batch b/c the idea of using 8 cups of powdered sugar kinda freaks me out. Anyway halving the recipe made a perfect amount for my batch of 24 cupcakes. I also used half unsalted butter (1/2 cup) and half shortening (1/2 cup), real vanilla extract (I'm thinking the clear imitation stuff is to keep the frosting white white but I don't care about that), and half and half (b/c I didn't have heavy cream). So, I'm halfway to cupcake nirvana. The cupcake recipe I tried today was just okay. But that totally could be my fault. i think I overbeat the batter. Anyway, if you find yourself with 6lbs of Crisco shortening, here's one way to use some.

I had to get out the translator 'cause I don't speak "kitchen." Seriously...I so totally hate to cook or bake...stems from my having to cook since the age of 8...and therapy hasn't helped.
Glad you found a great recipe and made it work for you. I like my cupcakes without the frosting, so save one for me, will ya?

MIMI! YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!
It's a good thing I don't know where you live! Cause I'd seriously come there wring your neck! I am now rummaging thru my cabinets to find stuff to make frosting and cupcakes! I swore I was starting a diet today! LOL! I'm so glad your cupcake 'thing' is almost satisfied!
