Ever wondered how to make your cupcake icing absolutely perfect?  Buttery, yet light, and completely spreadable cupcake icing is perhaps the most important external detail in the art of making these delightful little cakes.  If you spend all day working out your perfect cake recipe and getting it just precisely right, the last thing you want is to have to slather an inferior icing over the top of the cake, potentially ruining it’s texture and flavor.  The delicate nature of a well baked cupcake calls for precision and keen attention to the elusive details of icing.  That’s why today, we’re going to focus deeply on how to prepare the perfect butter cream frosting for any cupcake.  

After the butter cream icing is made, it is important not to over handle it.  Doing so will ruin the texture and lightness of the icing.  That can be a challenge when you have used a spatula to place the icing in a piping bag, expecting it to come out perfectly as you decorate to your heart’s content, but it is not impossible.  You, too, can make perfect butter cream icing and have it behaving for you in no time.  To demonstrate, here is an excellent video that will help you get started.
