[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I hate the overly sweet American frosting, usually full of artificial coloring and preservatives anyway, so yes, it's disgusting. Now if I make my own frosting, or eat something made fresh by a really good bakery that doesn't make it too sweet, that's a different story! [/quote] WTF is "American frosting"? In most countries isn't frosting made with some combination of butter and/or shortening and sugar? If not, what recipe is your favorite from this "non-American" place?[/quote] There are actually different types of frostings. American buttercream is made with butter, cream, powdered sugar, and flavorings (such as vanilla). It tends to be a bit sweeter than Italian buttercream or Swiss buttercream, which are more like meringues, or German buttercream, which has a custard base. FWIW, to me a cupcake is merely a frosting delivery vehicle.[/quote]
