Buttercream Icing Wilton Recipe
 |
One of the most versatile icing recipes is the Buttercream recipe. This recipe I got from the instructor who teaches the cake decorating classes at our local Michaels craft store. It is a double version of the original Wilton recipe with a minor tweak – the meringue powder was left out. As result, you end up with a very versatile icing that does not harden right away so it can be used for crumb coating, icing cakes and general cake decorating. An all-purpose recipe! |
Italian Meringue Icing (Double Boiler)
 |
This Italian meringue icing will stay soft inside and form a thin crust on the outside so perfect for icing birthday cakes. The inner layer that stays soft is light and fluffy, almost like whipped cream. Even kids who don’t normally like cake and who only like to eat the ice cream at birthday parties request for this icing. It is more work than a tub of Betty Crocker but for special occasions, it is well worth it! |
