[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I know buying at the grocery story is easier, but it's really quick and easy to make your own with just 4 ingredients, and you can make as much as you need instead of having to buy those tubs they sell at the grocery.  Plus, it will taste soooo much better.  For 20 to 30 cupcakes, this will be sufficient.  If you need more, you will have the ingredients to make more anyway :).  Make sure you put a stick of butter out to get to room temp a few hours before you are ready to start decorating the cupcakes.

Materials:
1 1/2 c Powdered Sugar
1 stick of butter room temp, not melted
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
1 Tbsp of heavy whipping cream

You can get those small cartons of heavy whipping cream from the grocery store in the yogurt section.  1 Tbsp should be plenty, but if you need more than you can add a little more if you think it needs it.  Don't be so quick to add more whipping cream until you have mushed enough with the spoon.

Just mix/mush all the ingredients together in a bowl using the back of a  spoon until you see the frosting forming.  Just keep mushing until it looks like frosting...maybe 2 minutes or so.

Just use regular food coloring to make red frosting.  If you want to do more colors then just make separate frosting bowls for decorating.[/quote]

Oh, BTW, I have tried the gels.  I prefer the regular food coloring to the gels.[/quote]
