Praise Butter

BUTTER BUTTER BUTTER - the answer to my cupcake decorating dreams!!

Let there always be good butter, for without butter there is no buttercream...!

A good tasting, good looking cupcake doesn't need an afternoon budget splurge at a professional bakery, nor the shipping in of exotic ingredients, nor the sacrifice of a sunny day as you hand-moulded marzipan daisies for decor. Perhaps one of the most attractive qualities of a good cupcake is this: simplicity.
*
First, you need a good vanilla or chocolate cake recipe.
Second, you need a good buttercream.
Third, you need a simple yet striking decorating plan.
*
For now, let's focus on step two.
Because, well. Buttercream has butter in it.
And, I believe in butter.

The secret to a stand-up-and-sing buttercream is a pack of pure butter. When butter is skimped upon, a stiff, super-sweet frosting occurs, bogging down the fluffy cake below.
A good, basic buttercream should be simply that, basic. You need only the right base of ingredients. Beginning with such allows you to create a multitude of succulent frosting flavours without sacrificing texture or taste.
