Butter Cream Frosting

This delicious Butter Cream Frosting can be used on cakes, cupcakes and cake pops!

You will need:

·         250g Unsalted butter

·         5 Cups of icing sugar mixture, sifted (I know it sounds like a lot but the taste is worth it)

·         2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Essence

·         3 Tablespoons of Full Cream Milk

·         Choice of Food Colouring Paste or Liquid Colouring

Now:

1.      Beat the butter for approximately 5 minutes to make the butter light and fluffy. It should appear pale white in colour.

2.      Divide the sifted icing sugar in half into separate bowls.

3.      Continue to beat the butter while gradually adding in one of the icing sugar bowls.

4.      Add the Vanilla essence and beat well

5.      Add the milk and beat well

6.      Now gradually add the last bowl of the icing sugar

To test to see if your Buttercream is ready to pipe simply grab a spoon - The Buttercream should be thick enough that it is unable to fall off the spoon unless helped to do so.
If it falls off the spoon, continue to beat until it passes the test!

 

Add your desired food colouring by either folding or beating with the electric mixer.

Then pipe onto your cupcake or cake etc. and enjoy!
