Posted: Friday February 26, 2010 7:26 AM Oh.my.stars and moons this was delish Bunnywoman!!!!!! I made Snickerdoodle cupcakes with it last night and then piped rose swirls on the top with your recipe. Divine! I posted my creation on Facebook with the comment my son made: I have Snickerdoodle cupcakes in the oven and my son just looked through the door and asked me if there was icing on them. Ha! (he just turned 3) Immediately, 7 people posted and asked me for your recipe! Lots of Snickerdoodle fans out there. I brought a tray of cupcakes here to work because I can't keep these yummy things at home with a full 2 sticks of butter in them!!

Posted: Friday February 26, 2010 8:24 PM I am using this icing as a filling....just wondering if it has to be refrigerated? I am confused on what stuff with milk needs to be refrigerated and what doesn't. I know pudding needs to be refrigerated, but does this icing? I am making a cake with two tiers, one snickerdoodle cake with this icing as filling and one white cake with pudding filling. I am using the Wilton class buttercream to frost the cakes. How long can I refrigerate the cake for before it starts to dry out? I am new to using different fillings, etc....so I have no clue about all of the rules of baking/decorating! Thanks for the advice and help.

mmumsie Posts: 15405	Posted: Friday February 26, 2010 10:59 PM I haven't used it as filling, but why not give it a try! Let us know how it turns out. There is so little milk I wouldn't be overly concerned about leaving it out, but you can always refrigerate if you are worried. Another option is to use powdered coffee creamer and hot water to dissolve as a milk substitute.

Mickeebabe Posts: 1039	Posted: Friday September 16, 2011 5:59 PM This recipe looks great. I can't wait to try it. Do you think this recipe would cover 24 cupcakes or a two-tier 8" round cake? Thanks mmumsie.

mmumsie Posts: 15405	Posted: Friday October 21, 2011 5:01 PM Spooky - This yield is slightly less than 3 cups of icing. Plus, with only using butter, it will be soft. So you may need to easily double or triple the recipe and decrease your liquids or do half shortening and half butter. Good luck!

Spooky_789 Posts: 4247	Posted: Monday November 21, 2011 4:24 PM I'm going to be making this recipe again tomorrow and I can't for the life of me remember if when I doubled the recipe the last time if I did 1/2 butter 1/2 HRS. I'm thinking I probably did. I tell ya, I'm only 40 but sometimes the ol' mind acts as if it's 80!

mmumsie Posts: 15405	Posted: Monday November 21, 2011 7:07 PM I keep thinking cinnamon oil would be yummy in this recipe too, especially if you'd like the icing NOT to be speckled with cinnamon.

Posted: Tuesday November 22, 2011 3:06 PM Mmumsie, I just stopped by my local bakery that also sells supplies and I picked up so Lorann's Cinnamon Oil. I asked her how much of it she would suggest using in your recipe and she said about 3-4 drops for a double batch. She did say that it gives a totally different flavor than using ground cinnamon. She likes the oil flavored BC better than the ground spice BC. Hmmm, now I'm torn as I don't know if I should use the oil or spice for the cake I'm decorating tonight! I really liked the spice BC, but like you said, it would be nice to have a cake without the little specks in it too.

mmumsie Posts: 15405	Posted: Tuesday November 22, 2011 3:11 PM Could you split the batch? Meaning divide the icing and add the grd. cinnamon for in between the layers and the oil for the outside. That might be too crazy though and the flavors would be slightly different. Let me know what you finally decided!

Posted: Tuesday November 22, 2011 5:42 PM I'm so tempted to make two batches! Taste them both and then go with the one I like better. But to get enough for the frosting and filling (as I'm thinking of torting the cakes - haven't decided for sure about that yet), I'd probably need to triple the batch since I'm doing the petal effect and don't want to be running out of buttercream! Argh! It doesn't help that I'm delivering a birthday cake tonight to my cousin and staying for games and so we may get home pretty late anyway. Ugh! Ugh! I need a personal assistant! lol
