Buttercream Icing

So lately a lot of my friends were asking me how to make this icing and its the easiest of all. Its nothing but a creamed mix of butter, icing sugar and vanilla essence. This icing is good for cupcakes ad well as icing cakes. Its really creamy and light and as its simple to make, this is the one you will prefer making the most.

Ingredients:


  • 200 gms of butter at room temperature
  • 500 gms of icing sugar (A pack of it)
  • 2 tsp vanilla essence

Method:


  • Beat or cream equal amounts (200gms each) of butter and sugar till light, fluffy, creamy and smooth. 
  • Add more icing sugar to get the right consistency according to the use. 
  • Finally add the vanilla essence and beat well for a few seconds.
  • Using a pallete knife smear your cake once chilled with it or put into a piping bag and pipe over you cupcakes using various nozzles.
Note:
*You can use zest of lemon or orange or use various other essences to flavor you icing instead of using only vanilla essence.
*You can even use food colors to make a colorful icing
