Basic buttercream:
226g Butter
3 cups Icing or confectioners sugar
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
3 tablespoons Milk
Pinch of salt
1. Beat the butter until it is fluffy and much lighter in colour. Add about a quarter of the icing sugar and beat. Add another quarter and mix again. Then add the milk salt and vanilla. Now beat in another quarter of the icing sugar. Only add the last quarter if you need to!!!
Bubblegum frosting
All you have to do is add some green and blue food dye and add some bubblegum flavouring to the buttercream frosting. You can also add any colour and flavour you like! Pink and candy floss , green and mint... The list goes on!
Chocolate frosting
1 cup softened butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
5 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3-4 tablespoons milk
Whip butter and cocoa together until smooth in large bowl. Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar. Slowly stream in milk until frosting reaches desired consistency. Scrape sides and whip again until light, fluffy and smooth, 1-2 minutes. Frosts 1-9 or 8 inch round layered cake or 24 cupcakes.
Chocolate ganache
Equal parts cream and chocolate
Microwave it 30 seconds at a time and mix well in between.
And your done! How easy was that?
If you want it to be pipe-able refrigerate until cold the whip it up - my favourite! 😋🍫
If you want it to be spreadable cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm
Another way of doing this is to heat the cream until just starting to boil. Then pour it through a sieve onto the bowl of chocolate. Cover and leave for about a minute. Stir through the now melted chocolate
Cream cheese icing:
150g butter, room temperature
240g cream cheese, room temperature
Icing sugar (roughly 250g)
1 Tsp vanilla
Add a few tablespoons of icing sugar. Taste and add more if required. Add vanilla. Taste and see if you need more icing sugar. And your done!! The reason I didn't give an exact amount of icing sugar is because with cream cheese icing you have to see how much sugar you need it always varies!!
