I found this one: http://www.mccormick.com/Recipes/Desserts/Chocolate-Cinnamon-Buttercream-Frosting.aspx but that seems like a lot of cinnamon. I'd accept a plain cinnamon frosting recipe that you thought was tasty, too. (See, I though red hots would make a lovely decoration for my V. Day cupcakes.)

Beat in 1/4 c of sugar, cinnamon, vanilla & salt until combined. Continue to add the sugar 1/4 c at a time. Taste & add more cinnamon if you wish. This recipe will frost 6 cupcakes, so consider the measurements. Also you can substitute chocolate liquor (Godvia) for the vanilla to bring a cocoa flavor into the icing.

Their pretty much available in all supermarkets nowadays. Sat Feb 14 07:06:32 -0800 2009 4416510 140140 mrbigshotno.1 1 4416791 just start with 1/2 the cinnimon and taste, if you want more add more. I do most recipes that way. Looks like a descent recipe. I would just wing it and add some melted good chocolate and cinnimon to my go to standard buttercream, but either or Sat Feb 14 07:12:28 -0800 2009 4416510 232829 kchurchill5 2 4418534 I did the recipe in the link and left out a teaspoon of cinnamon which I used to dust the tops of the cupcakes. Very, very tasty. I'd add more chocolate next time. Sun Feb 15 00:06:32 -0800 2009 4416791 11798 MollyGee
