I tried to take a picture of the finished product but it came out a little blurry.
Trust me, it was delicious. I used a vanilla buttercream frosting to finish it off. Maybe not a Cinnabon but still pretty tasty. I got 2 thumbs up from the birthday boy.
Looks amazing! Did you use frosting from a can or do you have a favorite vanilla buttercream recipe?
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteYou could certainly use canned frosting. I like to make my own. This is what I do.
Buttercream Frosting
1 cup butter (softened)
4 cups (1 lbs. box is about 4 cups) confectioners sugar
1-2 tsp. vanilla extract
2-4 Tbsp. water or milk or heavy cream (when using milk or heavy cream the frosting will have to be refridgerated)
Mix together the butter and sugar. Mix on low speed (unless you want to cover your kitchen with confectioner sugar) and slowly add sugar while mixing. Add the vanilla, continue mixing. Add liquid of choice in small amounts until you reach the desired consistency. I usually continue mixing another minute or so to make the frosting nice and light.
