simple butter cream recipe

Hey guys so instead of me writing out the recipe for butter cream out with every cake i decided to make a blog for the butter cream.
This recipe will decorate up to 20 cupcakes/ an 8 inch cake

ingredients:
500 g icing sugar
250 g butter
2 tsp of vanilla essence (your choice if you want a flavor to your butter cream)
1-2 tbsp milk
gel food colouring (if you want to colour them)

method:

1. add half of the icing sugar with the whole amount of butter
2. when it looks creamy add the milk and essence (if you want to put essence in)
3. add the rest of the icing sugar into the butter cream mixture.
4. if you want to colour the cake use gel colour as you use less (if you use liquid food colouring you end up using a full bottle and the colour wont be dark)

Enjoy!
