Vanilla Frosting for Cupcakes

Posted by KateRuby, February 18, 2009

I've been going through a cupcake phase, and I'm trying to find the perfect vanilla frosting.

I don't like a really buttery buttercream, and I'm not sure that that's what I'm looking for anyway. I like a fluffier frosting, one that doesn't leave a sort of greasy film in your mouth.

I'm looking for something along the lines of Podunk's or Sugar Sweet Sunshine's in NYC, if that helps. Not along the lines of Crumbs.

Let me know if you need more info...I'm still a bit of a novice with baking so I don't know all of the frosting/icing names :-(

Thanks for your help!
