Where can I find a recipe for grocery or bakery store like Buttercream frosting?
I’m an American living in France, and I am desperately looking for a excellent buttercream frosting recipe. The kind you find on top of grocery or bakery cakes. I’d like to make white buttercream cupcakes and don’t like the recipes I’ve found so far. I remember going to my local supermarket and buying vanilla and chocolate buttercream cupcakes. Miam!! No whipped cream, buttery frostings or the like… Just that frosting you get when you question for buttercream. (I eat healthy most of the time, I can at least sin with this!) Thanks!

4 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups water
16 egg whites
1 teaspoon salt
5 pounds butter, softened to room temperature and cut into pieces
4 tablespoons vanilla
In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat to a temperature of 248 degrees F on a candy thermometer. In an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites with the salt until they hold stiff peaks. With the mixer running, drizzle the hot syrup into the whites being careful not to hit the whip with the hot syrup. Beat mixture at medium speed until cooled to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn the mixer down to low and add the softened butter, piece by piece. **It is very vital that the butter and the meringue are the same temperature. If the buttercream starts to break, Slowly heat it up to about 95 degrees F. over a double boiler, while whisking. Return to the mixer and beat until it comes back together. Continue adding butter*** Mix in the vanilla.
My Grandmother always used this rich buttery icing on her chocolate cupcakes
1/2 lb butter, Softened
1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract
2 Cups sifted (do not sift if using food processor) confectioners sugar
Use hand mixer, stand mixer or food processor to mix all ingredients. If frosting is too thick you can thin it out with milk until you get the consistency you want.
I don’t have a recipe,but if you go to http://www.foodnetwork.com I’m sure they have one on there.:-)
