Does anyone have a nice recipe for Frosting, either vanilla or Chocolate for cupcakes please?

Maybe its not to everyones taste, but I like the cupcakes you can buy from the supermarkets that have a big (processed!!) swirl of frosting on the top.

I've tried making a homemade version, but I find the frosting I make at home always ends up tasting too buttery?

Try American frosting maybe. Rachel Allen has a great and easy recipe.

I just use icing sugar and water. For vanilla add a couple of drops of vanilla extract. For chocolate use a spoon of good cocoa powder.

I make American Frosting, love it!

Or you could make a cream cheese frosting - I use equal amounts of butter and icing sugar and add in the cream cheese and a touch of vanilla, lemon or any other flavour.

do you use normal butter, unsalted would be less buttery I think
