Introducing my new series… BAKING HACKS! 🍰
I thought I’d start a super casual series of backing hacks for any tips and tricks that I thought may help, so I thought I’d start off with one of the questions I get the most; How to make White Buttercream ❤️
This recipe is a simple american buttercream frosting of unsalted block butter, and icing sugar. You can flavour it if you wish, but for this, I started with the basic two ingredient frosting.
✨As I was making a larger amount I used 500g of butter, and 1000g of icing sugar. To cover 12 cupcakes you only need 200g/400g
✨Beat the room temperature butter for 10 minutes on it’s own
✨Add the icing sugar and beat well until combined
✨Add a minuscule amount of purple food colouring to counteract the natural yellow undertones of the butter (not a supermarket colour)
✨Too much purple colouring will turn the frosting grey, so you can see just had little you need to add
✨Beat again until thick and smooth
✨Stand mixers are easier and quicker, electric hand mixers will take longer, and just by hand will take ages and a lot of arm power
Any questions, leave them below! And if you have any more tips and tricks you want to see, comment them below as well.
Also, sorry for the low budget filmed at home type video… I had an idea and I just wanted to give it a go 😂 note to self, film in better lighting next time
