Carmel Frosting

Ingredients

½ Cup Butter

1 Cup firmly packed Dark Brown Sugar

1/3 Cup Milk

2 to 3 Cups Powdered Sugar

In a sauce pan melt butter, brown sugar and milk on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Bring to a full rolling boil. Take of the heat cool to room temperature. (To cool quicker remove from sauce pan put in the bowl that you are going to mix the powdered sugar in.)

When it is room temperature mix in powdered sugar to desired thickness ***** (if it is to warm the powered sugar will just melt and the frosting will not set) ******

I think this would make a good drizzle with less powdered sugar

Is excellent with Betty Crocker Butter Pecan cake mix

Basic Buttercream Frosting

 Ingredients

• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 to 2 tablespoons whipping cream

 

Directions

In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.

Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

Note: If using in a piping bag, be aware that this icing melts easily and the heat from your hands can let this occur. Also, be cautious to not set desserts with this frosting outside in the heat of the sun.
