In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Rich Vanilla Frosting. This is the frosting that was used on our 1000th video yellow cake. This demonstration also shows you how to customize your cake with an image of your choice. Ingredients: 1 cup vanilla baking chips ½ cup half-and-half (This is half milk, half cream.) 1 cup butter 2 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar (This is the same a powdered sugar/icing sugar.) Combine 1 cup vanilla baking chips, ½ cup half-and-half, and 1 cup butter in a double boiler or saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar. Set double boiler or saucepan in ice. Beat at medium speed of an electric mixer, until frosting is of spreading consistency. This amount of frosting will easily frost a typical rectangular cake. For a layer cake, you may want to double the recipe or make two separate recipes of frosting. You may customize your cake while the frosting is still soft, by topping it with a decorative sugar layer. Put your chosen image on disk and get a print of it. Take the print to the cake decorating department of your supermarket. (I went to Meijer.) I was able to get them to create only the sugar sheet, but your supermarket may require that you buy the cake and have it iced there, where they will bake and decorate your cake with your chosen design. I hope you enjoy this frosting! Love, Betty ♥

Recipe here: www.joyofbaking.com Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a Vanilla Cake. While there are many cakes that are perfect for celebrating birthdays and other special occasions, a two layer Vanilla Cake covered with Confectioners Frosting is especially popular. I really like this Vanilla Cake’s sweet buttery flavor and light and moist texture. The frosting used to both fill and frost the cake also has a sweet and buttery flavor with a light and fluffy texture. To further decorate the cake, you can pipe some of the frosting around the top and base of the cake in a pretty design, and candy dots pressed into the frosting finish the look.

Not much difference in taste, just texture.

hi betty
what is the difference between your never fail white icing and your rich vanilla frosting in terms of the taste?
Awesome video!
Hi Betty! Awesome video! I would love to try it! Instead of putting it in the ice after you placed it on the double boiler, can ur place it in the fridge then beat it until stiff peaks? Or do u have to place it in the ice. Also do u have to refrigerate it or can u store it in room temperature? Thanks betty!
It would be found by searching 100th video, but the link is here:

I hope you enjoy it!
–Betty
where is the 1000th video at and wat is it called
You could use white chocolate chips, but I have been able to find vanilla baking chips at my grocery store–also vanilla discs.
–Betty
The frosting looks delicious, but I’m not sure what you mean by vanilla cooking chips? Do you mean vanilla white chocolate melting wafers? Like the ones from Wilton? Please respond soon. Thank you!
I don’t know what the problem is; it should be viewable in TX!
–Betty
Betty, I am unable to view the 1000th video
It says “”Betty’s 1,000th Video from bettyskitchen on YouTube”
This video contains content from WMG and UMG, one or more of whom have blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.”
I don’t know what the problem is since I am in central Texas..
Yes, heavy cream will work fine.
–Betty
Hi Betty can i use heavy cream because thats what i’ve got on hand
You may use any white baking chips. If you can’t find white chips, perhaps you might consider changing the flavor of the icing with butterscotch chips or chocolate chips.
–Betty
Hello Betty
I have a question, i dont think we have vanilla baking chips here, or at least that i know … so what are them? and how i could replace them?? thanks beauty
Thanks for your lovely comment!
–Betty
Thank you Betty and congratulations to you and all your success!! You are my favorite You Tube subscription : )
Congrats to Rick also on his book, it had excellent reviews on Amazon.com
This frosting is quite delicate. You will have to keep your chocolate cake refrigerated with this frosting, whereas you would have a sturdier frosting with buttercream/
–Betty
Hi Betty,
I’m making “Betty’s Best Chocolate Cake” in 2 layers and I was thinking of using this frosting because I also have a sugar decoration going on top. 3 questions:
Do you think this is too rich for the chocolate cake?
Would it be enough for middle layer top and sides of cake?
If not this vanilla/white frosting would you recommend?
That’s great!
–Betty
you uploaded this on my cousin’s birthday !
