People may not agree with me but I am not a fan of homemade vanilla frosting. Most buttercream frostings do not live up to my standards of delightfulness. They are either too sweet or too buttery with a mushy consistency. When I try to pipe the frosting on cupcakes it comes out runny and blaaaah, not keeping the form as I would like. Thus for me the consistency and flavor really stink. So I think ah man should I just buy store bought frosting...but I cannot do it. It doesn't seem right to slave in the kitchen making baked goods and then buy store bought frosting; that is a complete and utter failure in my book, and failure is not an option...And as a result I am on a quest. A. for a vanilla frosting that tastes great and B. for one that has a thicker consistency.
P.S. I think that there is some conspiracy theory behind vanilla buttercream frosting..I have searched and tested several frostings that get rave reviews, with "yummy this" and "great frosting" that, but they have all been sub par in my book.
I have good news people...I have found an incredible vanilla frosting recipe. I am SO happy!! Now I have a great frosting to compliment my cupcakes...watch out people because here I come :)
