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!

EASY BUTTERCREAM ICING



Easy Buttercream Icing image

This is the icing recipe I used when taking Wilton cake decorating classes. It works really well. Since it doesn't have butter in it the icing is more stable, and won't melt therefore works great when the cake is going to be left out. You can store it in the fridge in a airtight container for a month, you will just have to whip it again. I've made the recipe for my vegan friends by removing the meringue powder. For a chocolate version mix in 3/4 cup cocoa. Colours very well, but use food colouring gel so you don't change the consistency. The thin consistency recipe will cover about an 8 inch round cake or 24 cupcakes.
