EXTRA SPECIAL BUTTERCREAM ICING



Extra Special Buttercream Icing image

This is the best buttercream icing I have ever tasted. I used it for my daughter's wedding cake. I made a double batch, which was enough to ice, border, and pipe small decorations on the sides of the cake for a 14" x 10" x 6" tiered cake. I think the whipping cream is the secret to making this icing special.

Time 20m

Yield 7 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 lbs powdered sugar (8 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon meringue powder (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2-1 teaspoon clear butter flavoring
4 -6 ounces whipping cream

Steps:

  • Cream butter and shortening until fluffy.
  • Add sugar, meringue powder, about half of the cream, and continue creaming until well blended.
  • Add salt, flavorings and enough whipping cream to make the consistency you need.
  • Beat at medium speed until icing is fluffy.
  • You may substitute all shortening for the butter, which will give a pure white icing, but the flavor will not be quite as good.
  • I used butter and real vanilla and the icing turned out a very pale ivory, which I personally prefer to a stark-white icing.
  • The meringue powder gives the icing a light crust, but it remains soft underneath.

WILTON BUTTERCREAM ICING



Wilton Buttercream Icing image

A great icing that we used in Wilton Cake Decorating Class. Would produce amazing results everytime. Thinning is done easily by adding water. This recipe makes "stiff" consistency. To make "medium" add one tablespoon milk or water. To make "thin" icing (perfect consistency for decorating a cake with the basic coating) Add two tablespoons of milk or water. If you want pure white icing, which is the perfect base to tint, use the white crisco shortening and any clear vanilla extract (wilton makes a great one). Using any others will give a faint creamy color that may affect the shade you try and tint with. Using water will give you a stable product that needs no refridgeration and the icing will keep indefinately in the fridge if you keep it in a covered container. If it dries out in the fridge you can always just add a bit of water to bring it back to the consistency you need. If you over thin at any time, just add more icing sugar to thicken. Very versatile product!
