Icing

When you are in love with cake, the covering becomes just as important to the end product and just as challenging.

After countless tries with tons of different recipes, I have found my buttercream go-to.  It pipes well, colours easily and you can flavour it anyway you want. The ingredient list is simple but the product divine.

Buttercream should be exactly that. If you put that much effort, thought and time into a knockout cake, make your icing equally as fabulous.

If you have oodles of time, lots of patience and are truly in the “cake zone” make an Italian Meringue Buttercream. It’s so worth it.

My buttercream takes minutes to whip up. The quantities of butter/shortening, milk/cream, and icing sugar give me a lovely, pipeable, palatable product. The secret is in the beating.

Look for the recipe and give it a whip. You won’t be sorry…..
