THE BEST HOMEMADE BUTTERCREAM ICING RECIPE



The Best Homemade Buttercream Icing Recipe image

This is a recipe I have used for cakes and cupcakes since 1999. Buttercream icing recipes are so much easier to make homemade than you may have thought.

Provided by Crystal VanTassel-Lopez

Total Time 15 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1  1/2 cups solid shortening- Crisco brand preferably
1 stick butter (at room temperature)
2 tsp. vanilla
(1) 32 oz. bag confectioners sugar
1/3 cup milk (or try heavy whipping cream)

Steps:

  • Cream butter and shortening with an electric mixer until well blended.   A stand-alone mixer works best. This is the one I have and LOVE!
  • Add the vanilla and mix until blended.   At this point your icing should look like this:
  • Gradually add sugar one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Stop in between each cup to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • The icing will start to get dry, you can gradually add your milk or heavy whipping cream. Keep mixing until everything is fluffy and smooth.  If you would like to color the icing, this is the stage you would do that. Just add the gel coloring and mix on medium speed until well blended.
  • You can now place the icing in a bag for piping your cupcakes or ice your cake.

WILTON BUTTERCREAM ICING RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Wilton Buttercream Icing Recipe - Food.com 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!

Total Time 10 minutes

  • when all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk or water and beat at medium speed until ready to use.

PERFECT VANILLA CRUSTING BUTTERCREAM ICING FOR SUGAR C…
I recommend using a crusting buttercream when decorating buttercream sugar cookies. This allows the buttercream to form an outside crust, giving them a bit more protection from getting accidentally squished. This is essential if you plan to transport these cookies from your house to another location or if you want to stack or seal them.

  • Mix in the vanilla extract and 2 tbsp. of milk. If the mixture is too stiff, add more milk. I prefer a consistency of smooth peanut butter for cookies that have a lot of line work and a slightly stiffer consistency for piping flowers.
