Hey everybody, it's Bobby here
0:01
My mom made some cupcakes and I'm in charge of the frosting. She said, what kind of frosting do you want
0:06
for these cupcakes? I said, well, I'm gonna do something a little unusual, but it's one that I really like
0:11
And it is a grapefruit cream cheese icing. So let's get started
0:16
I've got my grapefruit, which is room temperature and soft. I'm gonna go ahead and beat it a little bit with my mixer
0:22
just to get it kind of fluffy. At this time of year
0:27
If your cream cheese is hard in the refrigerator, just send it outside for about five minutes
0:32
and it'll soften right up. That's one of the good things about living in Savannah
0:38
So warm, you've got an instant defrost right outside your front door
0:43
Okay, so the cream cheese is beaten just a little bit. I'm gonna add to that some grapefruit juice
0:48
Juice, excuse me. Just a smidge and a little zest. And back to the mixer
0:55
Grapefruit is, you know, it's one of those things that people either like or they don't want to think
1:03
It's kind of such a purge. But I think that it's going to be sort of softened up inside this frosting
1:13
And I think it going to be like a really not faint but it be a delicate just a little smidge of grapefruit And I think you like it too I gonna gradually add in some sugar powdered sugar
1:37
Beautiful. and my zest, excuse me, not my zest, my, um, I've got a little grapefruit that I crushed up
1:55
I'm just going to fold it in. And then I'm going to add a little bit of yellow food coloring
2:07
Just for fun. Just a couple of drops. Excuse me, I said yellow
2:20
It's like blood orange. Yeah, it's yellow. Beautiful
2:30
This is gorgeous. Look at this. Beautiful, beautiful color. Saffron colored
2:41
Honey colored. Grapefruit colored. Those little bits of grapefruit in there are gonna be a nice surprise for your palate Get in there sugar Don be wasted
3:03
Mm-hmm. I think we can agree that that is a beautiful colored frosting
3:14
I'm gonna take the cupcakes. I think I'll use butter right there
3:34
Very, very pretty. And right on top, a marker so that people know
3:41
What kind of frosting is? Look at that. Beautiful cupcake. Now I got three more to ice
3:52
I was going to say, Bobby, I don't want you ever to ice cupcakes for me. That's..
3:57
Looks like a shark. That is like a quarter inch. We need a good half inch icing topping, too
4:04
I think what we're saying is you're being stinky. Two stinky. Okay let do it Let do one for Ed Yeah those are more like the Yeah that was good Stingy
4:21
We want sugar highs. Sugar. All right, let's do it. Ooh, hey, buddy
4:29
How about that, Ed? That's much better. Isn't it there? Boom. The piece of grapefruit on top is a nice touch
4:39
All my cupcakes are frosted and was dissatisfied with the first one
4:44
We went more icing on the other three. They looked really pretty, and the flavor is really light
4:53
So it's not going to be a punch in the face of grapefruit. It's not going to be this tart
4:57
Oh, my gosh, what is that? It was very, very light and very nice. So if you wanted to make it more flavorful, you could always add a little more zest or a little more juice
5:05
But this is really nice and really light, and it'll be great for, I don't know, maybe your kids
5:11
They don't want fruit. This might be a good way to introduce or for your next party
5:17
