Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter room temperature
- 1 lb confectioner's sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp vanilla
- Food Coloring omit for cream colored icing
Instructions
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, combine the butter, sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Divide into 2 or 3 bowls (as many colors as you want) and tint with food coloring to the desired shades.
- Cover the bowls to keep the frosting from hardening when not in use. Place the frosting in a piping bag and follow the directions below.
Cup of Yum
How to decorate hydrangea cupcakes:
- With one color, usually, pink, purple, blue or white, and using a 2D tip, start piping flowers onto the cupcake, until it's covered.
- You can also blend two, such as blue and purple.
Cup of Yum
How to decorate carnation cupcakes:
- Using a 104 tip, make a circular start in the center of the cupcake.
- Then, holding the tip so that it pipes vertically, pipe long straight "petals" around, and around until the cupcake is covered.
How to decorate camellia cupcakes:
- Also using a 104 tip, make a central piping in the center.
- This time, hold the tip at a 45º angle, and form petals from the center, starting each new one under the last one, and continuing until the cupcake is covered. This just takes a little practice.
Notes
- Change the colors to suit your party them or flower choices.
