About three weeks ago my 5 year old purchased a book ,
Pinkalicious, from her school book fair. About every night for the last three weeks the kids have asked us to read
Pinkalicious at bedtime. It is about a little girl who eats too many pink cupcakes so she turns pink. Earlier this week, I decided to make pink cupcakes for the girls since they've been sick and the weather was crummy. I really don't make cupcakes or cakes very often, so I looked for some recipes. Eventually I decided to go the easy route and use a mix for the cupcakes. However, I didn't want to use
pre-made frosting since I'm just not a big fan of it. I found a recipe for pink frosting on the
Pinkalicious author's website and tried it out. Oh. My. God. The frosting was awesome! I am not a huge cake/frosting fan, but I could become pink eating too many cupcakes, or really more accurately, by eating the frosting right out of the bowl.
Mmm.....
Pinkalicious Cream Cheese Frosting:
Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 box of confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Don’t forget to add some PINK! ( used 1-2 drops of Wilton's pink gel food coloring)
Directions:
In bowl of electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter, on low speed, until very smooth with no lumps. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and beat, on low speed, until fully incorporated and smooth. Add food coloring until you reach your desired pinkaliciousness, one to two drops at a time and beat after each addition.
