Welcome to Baking it Rich!

Hello, and thank you for viewing my blog! Since I was a child I have always loved baking. So, I thought it would be a great idea to create a place online where I could share recipes, pictures, and tips on baking with other people who enjoy the same thing. Please feel free to look around, comment, share, post, follow (must sign in with gmail) and most importantly, try out some recipes!

Hope to hear from you,

Fluffy, Whipped Frosting


Katie is a pro in the kitchen. Cupcakes  are her favorite food!
Fluffy, Whipped Frosting

This is one of the most delicious frosting recipes I have ever tried. (I am a BIG icing/frosting person). It is great whether you like a big pile of frosting on your cupcake, or only a small amount. It is not too sweet and not too bland, but somewhere right in the middle. It is light, fluffy, and buttery. Feel free to mix it up and add chopped nuts or chocolate to give it a kick. Also, try using food coloring when using with children. 

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • dash of salt
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

  1. Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Slowly add in milk. Cook at medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling.
  3. Frosting should thicken. After it is thickened, put in the refrigerator or freezer for about a half an hour.
  4. When cooled, beat in vanilla until light and fluffy. 
  5. Frost cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and use as filling!
