Buttercream, Peanut Butter and Mocha Cupcake Frostings

Made with Shullsburg Creamery Butter

Classic Buttercream

Bring butter to room temperature.  Beat butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (this will take several minutes).  Add 3 cups powdered sugar and remaining ingredients and mix well.  Add remaining powdered sugar as needed until you get the desired consistency. 

Peanut Butter Frosting

Beat butter until fluffy.  Beat in peanut butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.  Gradually beat in remaining powdered sugar.

Mocha Frosting

  • 1 cup Shullsburg Creamery Butter, softened
  • Strong coffee (instant coffee made with 2 Tbsp hot water and 2 tsp instant coffee), cooled
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Heavy cream

Cream butter for several minutes until light and fluffy.  Whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.  Add the sugar mixture to butter and beat well.  Add vanilla and mix well (mixture will be very dry).  Add the cooled coffee and mix well.  If frosting it too thick, add a small amount of heavy cream until you reach the desired consistency.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

I purchased three kinds of your cheeses and I fell in love. They're just right - Blueberry , Cranberry and my new favorite, Cheddar with Hot Peppers. They have the right balance of pop. So glad I tried your product! I will be hoping you stay at my store!

Meet Rosey, the 2025 Cheesefest Carving

It was one beautiful day at this year's Cheesefest, taking place in historic downtown Water Street earlier this month.  And one of the event's favorite attractions is always the sculpted Cheddar cow.  Shullsburg Creamery proudly donates a 40-pound block of Cheddar each year to sculptor Vicki Janisch, who then does her magic.  We caught up with Vicki to understand the inspiration behind this year's cow!
