Basic Buttercream Recipe

Hey guys,

So here is a little extra blog post for a friend (Instagram: faithy.b). It is a simple butter cream recipe.

Ingredients:

600g of icing sugar
300g of butter

Optional extras: 

Food colouring
Flavoring extracts
Lemon zest
Orange zest
Cocoa Powder

Method: 

1. Beat the butter for at least a couple of minutes before you add the icing sugar. Then ass the icing sugar little by little so that you don't get covered in icing sugar. Pop a shaped nozzle into a piping bag and fill it with the icing. Then decorate!!!

You can add whatever you want to the icing sugar. Sometimes I add some food colouring or lemon zest to change it up a bit. Sometimes just leaving the icing plain can be nice and adding fresh berries on top or royal icing cut outs.

Hope you enjoy
