When making cake frosting with sour cream instead of milk should you melt the butter or cream the butter and why?

To correctly answer this I would need to see the recipe. But many frosting recipes require you to only soften the butter and never to melt it. In order to have a frosting turn out thick the butter needs to be softened. If it's melted it won't properly combine with the other ingredients.

How do you thicken frosting that's too thin?
To make butter cream frosting thicker you should put it in the fridge, or beat it in a bowl over (not in) ice, or mix in a little more butter. If it is egg-white frosting put it in the top of a double boiler and beat it a little over simmering water. :)

How much butter should you use instead of butter extract?
Butter is not a substitute for butter extract. Butter extract is a fat-free flavoring used when for some reason butter cannot be used. When butter is used, it should replace the fat in the recipe - shortening, oil or lard - and the butter extract will not be needed.
What is the best cupcake frosting?
Butter cream is the best. (Powder sugar with butter and melted non sweetened chocolate) www.cooksrecipes.com/category/cake.HTML A very simple one is to add some milk or water, a little soft butter if you wish, and a dash of vanilla extract to a couple of cups of powdered sugar. Beat it until you get the consistancy you like. You can add cocoa powder to it as well, or flavor it with orange or lemon juice instead. You can make it thinner by adding more liquid, and thicker by adding more sugar. thank you both for the recipe and for the website the cake i will be making lady Baltimore cake should go good with the frosting just given to me =) thank you again

Actually, that is what you should use. The brown coloring in Apple Butter does not come from ground cinnamon. It comes from cooking the apple sauce for many, many hours. My family has been making Apple Butter in a copper kettle over an open fire for many decades.

Salted or unsalted butter best for baking?
Regular butter will make your food taste slightly saltier, but can usually be used in place of unsalted butter. In many baked items the proportion of ingredients has a direct effect on the finished product. Not just the flavor. The interaction of salt and sugar with leavening agents such as yeast and with the gluten in the flour can affect the rise of the product and the finished texture. Baking is a science. A small change in proportion can have a big effect.

Yes, in some cake recipes and in some cake mixes, cream cheese is a delicious substitution for butter.

You can find these recipes on the websites of cream cheese companies.
