Make The Best Buttercream Frosting 

A fun and easy recipe to make (my favorite), Buttercream Frosting

What You'll Need:

* 6 egg whites
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup light corn syrup
* 2 1/2 sticks butter, cubed and room
temperature
* small saucepan
* grade A or AA eggs
* light corn syrup (recommended: Karo)
* sugar
* mixer (either stand or handheld)
* 2 and 1/2 sticks butter
* cake plate (optional)
* rubber spatula or cake froster (a long flat,
approx. 1-inch wide metal stick-thing, for
frosting)

What To Do Next... 

1. Whip the eggs whites in the bowl of a mixer
until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and corn
syrup to a boil. With the mixer on low speed,
add the sugar mixture to the eggs very slowly!
continue to mix until the egg/sugar mixture
has cooled to a lukewarm temp, since adding
butter to the mixture while hot will melt your
butter too fast and make a big melted mess.
3. Add the butter only three cubes at a time.
Only add more butter when you cannot see the
butter that was previously added. Whip until
it is creamy.
4. Apply a small amount of frosting to the cupcake
and spread out all over the top and sides of
the cupcake. Use only enough frosting to barely
coat the cupcake. It is okay to get crumbs in
this layer of frosting.
5. Let sit for at least 30 minutes or until the
frosting has dried/set.
