Buttercream Recipe For Cake Decorating. I was given this recipe in a cake decorating class 40 years ago and they called it a buttercream. Angled spatula to pull the frosting either horizontally or vertically.
However it will need to be thinned for frosting birthday cakes and borders. Tips for this Vanilla buttercream recipe. Add cream 1 Tbsp at a time until you reach the desired consistency make sure its at room temperature.
Use a large round tip or a cut bag to pipe a dot of frosting then use the tip of a 9 in.
Best for dimensional decorations that need to retain their shape when piped. Over the years I have modified it to make it less sweet by substituting 4 oz cream cheese for 12 of the butterI I dont know what to call thisit is not a real butter cream. This is also a great technique for creating petal flowers. This buttercream recipe is for medium consistency which is excellent for piping decorations like rosettes and dots.
