WILTON BUTTERCREAM ICING

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!

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup Unsalted Butter (Softened)
½ cup Solid Vegetable Shortening
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4 cups Powdered Sugar ((Confectioners' Sugar) Sifted)
2 tablespoons Milk, Heavy Cream or Water
pinch Salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream butter and shortening together on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 1 minute.
  • Add the vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, then beat well. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Once all the sugar is mixed in, gradually add in the milk (or heavy cream or water), a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter. The better the butter, the better the frosting. Look for a butter that is at least 80% butterfat.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar. Adding the sugar all at once can make the frosting too thick and grainy.
  • Beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes on medium speed.
  • Add flavorings after the frosting is beaten. This will help prevent the frosting from curdling.
  • Use frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring the frosting to room temperature before using.

Conclusion:

Wilton's Best Buttercream Frosting is a classic frosting that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and versatile. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect buttercream frosting every time.
