Basic Buttercream Icing recipe
So, for this week's video, we got pretty basic, and we're just showing a basic buttercream recipe. There are a couple of different ways to approach buttercream, and this is definitely the simplest and most versatile. We'll be doing a video on the other method in the future, it's a little more like the process for an Italian Meringue.
Anyway, this is the easy basic buttercream recipe, and we're flavouring it with a locally produced French Cream liquer similar to Bailey's called Chantilly. I'd link you to the Maverick Distillery, but it seems their website is currently in limbo. They do have a Facebook page. You can of course flavour this however you like, it's very versatile. Grand Marinier is great for orange flavour, or Amaretto for almond, or Kirsch for cherry. You don't need to use liquer, either, you can flavour it however you like.
Next week's video will be the cupcakes we're decorating!
