Easy Snow White Cream Icing Recipes

WILTON SNOW WHITE BUTTERCREAM CAKE ICING

Steps:

• Stiff Consistency: In large bowl, combine 2/3 cup water and meringue powder; whip with electric mixer at high speed until peaks form.
• Add 4 cups sugar, one cup at a time, beating at low speed after each addition.
• Add remaining 8 cups sugar and 3 tablespoons water, shortening and corn syrup in 3 additions, blending well after each.
• Add salt and flavorings; beat at low speed until smooth.
• Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
• For thin (spreading) consistency icing, add up to 4 more tablespoons each water and corn syrup.

WHITE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat 2 cups of unsalted butter on a medium-high speed (6-8 on a KitchenAid) for 2 minutes with a paddle attachment / stand mixer or a hand mixer. It should become lighter in color and look white once it's been whipped up.
• Mix in 1 Tbsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp salt on a low speed until incorporated.
• Gradually add in 7 cups of powdered sugar while mixing slowly on the lowest setting. Half way through add in 3 Tbsp of heavy cream to make it easier to mix. I like to place a kitchen towel over my mixer to help contain any powdered sugar clouds.
• Mix on low until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached.
• If the frosting is too thick, add in additional cream (1 Tbsp at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar (quarter of a cup at a time).
• If your buttercream isn't as white as you'd like at this point, you can mix in a tiny drop of purple gel food coloring or 1 tsp of titanium dioxide powder on a low speed to brighten it.
