We used to live next to two older women who were widows and happened to be sisters. We referred to them as 'The Sisters.' Their names were Bea and Helen. Very sweet Christian women who loved my family and were lonely at times. I used to walk over there many times a week to visit them and I remember one day while I was there, Bea had just made chocolate cupcakes. She was in the middle of making a homemade peanut butter frosting. I'll never forget how both of them knew precisely how much frosting a cupcake should have. They both knew that you better not dare to skimp on the frosting- especially when its a peanut butter frosting. Since that day many years ago I always think of them whenever I frost a cake, brownie or cupcake. They have both past away now and I think about them frequently. I often wonder if they were to show up and try one of my cupcakes would they be happy with the amount of frosting or would they be disappointed.
Frosting will either make or break your cake. Most people think 'Eh, its just frosting' but you couldn't be any farther from the truth. You could make the most amazing cake but if you slather some pre-bought frosting on top you are committing a major mistake you will regret for the rest of your life. That may be a bit dramatic but seriously, once you make your own frosting and then try the pre-bought stuff, you will never ever want to go back to your old ways. Making a homemade frosting is so crazy easy and I don't know why more people don't do it. It seriously takes less than 5 minutes to whip up an amazing frosting. All you need is a mixer, around 5 ingredients and you will be the proud owner of your very own frosting! The best part is licking the beaters once your done! Jett loves having a Mama that makes her own frosting because he gets to sit in his highchair with a big ol' beater full of frosting once I'm done!
