If it is flavor, I'd go for cream cheese or a caramel frosting. but for appearance purposes I always stick with buttercream. It's the best frosting to withstand manila's hot and humid weather. :)<br /><br />Makes about 9 cups, enough for about 28 cupcakes<br /><br /> * 2 cups sugar<br /> * 10 large egg whites<br /> * 4 cups (8 sticks or 2 pounds) unsalted butter, cut into pieces<br /> * 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract<br /><br /> 1. Place sugar and egg whites in the heat-proof bowl of an electric mixer. Set bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, and whisk until sugar has dissolved and egg whites are hot to the touch.<br /> 2. Transfer bowl to mixer stand. Using the whisk attachment, beat on high speed until mixture has cooled completely and formed stiff and glossy peaks.<br /> 3. Add the butter and beat until incorporated. Add vanilla, and beat just until combined.<br /> 4. Switch to the paddle attachment, and beat on the lowest speed to eliminate any air pockets.<br /> 5. Add color, if using any.The Phenomenal Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13473918805848282327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452653556746370345.post-76068479914479845482009-06-18T04:51:55.762+08:002009-06-18T04:51:55.762+08:00I think I may have gained a few pounds just by loo...I think I may have gained a few pounds just by looking at all these sweet treats!! OK, you, me and Mom-Friday should official start our Sweet Sunday Treats, at least once or 2x a month!<br />I am hoping to see your own macarons soon! I tried to bake them, following a recipe I got online, but they were an utter failure! I may have grown an inferiority complex because of that, but I suppose that I will live regardless :) Can't wait to see yours, as you are definitely skilled in the kitchen!Jen Laceda | Milk Guideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619343060622081800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452653556746370345.post-41691018618440176552009-06-16T09:31:07.408+08:002009-06-16T09:31:07.408+08:00I give you a standing ovation for your efforts and...I give you a standing ovation for your efforts and will power! your goodies look really yummy!!! with me, i already feel tired just thinking about baking a muffin, haha...by the way, if it's not a secret, mind sharing with me your favorite cupcake frosting? ;)Mom-Fridayhttp://www.mymomfriday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
