I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Coffee Mocha Buttercream

Light on the cocoa, with a little coffee fix!

 Ingredients:

 1 cup butter, at room temperature
2  1/2 cups icing sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1  1/2 tbsps strong brewed coffee, cooled
1 tsp cocoa powder

 Cube the butter and beat in a mixer until smooth.
Gradually add the icing sugar and beat until fully combined.
Add the vanilla extract and the coffee, again a little at a time so that the butter mixture can easily absorb the liquid.

 Makes enough frosting for a 2-layer 8" round cake.

 This one was a chocolate fudge cake which complimented the buttery frosting perfectly!
