Baking

I am sooooo excited! I have been wanting a Kitchen Aid mixer for a long time now and after patiently waiting for a great sale at kohls and hitting the early bird special I finally purchased one! It's black and I loooove it!
So yesterday was a baking afternoon. I stole this frosting recipe off of another blog that I follow and man did she pull through! It's awesome! So I thought I would share with you all. And I owe the cupcake recipe to Betty Crocker. Ha!

1 stick butter (at room temp) Mix w/ mixer till smooth
1/3 to 1/2 bag of powd. sugar Add slowly into mixer
1 tsp. vanilla Add w/ powdered sugar
1-3 Tbsp. milk Add slowly one Tbsp. at a time until consistency is good. I used a little over 2 Tbsp.
1/2 a tub of cool whip Add to mixing bowl and mix on med for a little while and then on high til smooth.

Yes, those are fruity pepples. I was given this idea by a client.(Thanks Shirley!)And it is awesome!
