Best 9 Bakery Style Vanilla Frosting Recipes

BAKERY STYLE VANILLA FROSTING

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or hand mixer, cream butter and shortening for about a minute, on medium speed, until light and fluffy.Pro tip - The color of the butter will get lighter in color and will blend with the shortening completely.
• Combine water with cornstarch and vanilla extract. Add it to the creaming mixture and whip until smooth. Pro tip - Water will create a glue effect with the cornstarch when combined with the fat. It will also take away that starchy taste from the cornstarch.
• Next, start adding the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Once all the sugar is in - whip the buttercream for a good three minutes until light and fluffy.Pro tip - Whipping for no less than 3 minutes will give a light and airy whipped cream frosting consistency.
• This buttercream is ready to use. You can use it to frost cakes ad as well as cupcakes. Pro tip - If you have air pockets while frosting the cake, use a paddle motion with a spatula when frosting. This usually will take care of the air pockets.
