The following items are needed to prepare your own cupcake icing:
4 tbsp butter, softened
5 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 eggs
6tbsp cream
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 oz, chocolate, unsweetened and melted
Orange food coloring
Prepare cream butter. Next, gradually add sugar, leaving a portion to be used for another mixture. Blend well after every addition. This time, add remaining sugar alternately with the egg whites followed with 2 tbsps of cream. Blend until you reach the right consistency of a spread.
Then add in vanilla extract and salt. Distribute the frosting into two equal parts. Put orange coloring to one part of frosting and spread between cake layers.
If you want to make a pumpkin decoration, make sure to save about 1/4 of orange frosting. Then, for the other part, add in chocolate and 4 tbsps of cream, blending well until you reach the right consistency. When your chocolate frosting is ready, spread it on the top and sides of cake. You could also adorn the top with jack-o-lantern, which is made of orange frosting.
You may also use margarine as a substitute for butter. Also, an electric beater can help give your frosting better consistency and a really nice, soft fluff. If you don"t have an electric beater, you may use an egg beater. Make sure to blend all ingredients well to achieve your desired consistency.
Now you"re ready to give your holiday cupcake the frosting it deserves! Write words or put whatever design you like on your cupcakes! Let your creative juice flow. It"s that simple! Go and try it yourself. You won"t even have to break a sweat at it.
