Best 8 Regular White Icing Add Butter To Make Buttercream Icing Recipes

WHITE BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Prepare a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
• Whip butter until pale, fluffy, and creamy.
• Reduce speed to low and add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until well blended. Increase speed to medium and whip for 3 minutes.
• Add clear vanilla and 2 Tbsp cream and continue to whip on medium for 1 minute.
• Add more cream as needed until desired consistency is reached (I added all 4 Tbsp).
• Dip a toothpick into a tiny bit of violet color gel and add it to the buttercream. Whip to incorporate.
• Add more violet if needed and/or some bright white color gel. Whip until the frosting is smooth and silky.

BEST WHITE ICING EVER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine sugar, shortening, water and vanilla. Beat on low speed to combine, then beat on medium speed for a full five minutes. It won't look like Icing at first, but keep the mixer going for a full five minutes, and then you're done!
• Note: If you're not using this for decorating, but just for icing the cake, thin the icing by adding 3 tbs. of corn syrup, or water to the icing.

REGULAR WHITE ICING (ADD BUTTER TO MAKE BUTTERCREAM ICING)

Steps:

• Mix powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Add milk teaspoon by teaspoon until desired consistency.
• Dash salt.
• Note: Do NOT pour in the milk.
• Trust me.
• Do this as instructed, or you will have to keep adding sugar until you get a good consistency, and then you will end up with enough icing to cover surplus amout of cakes!
• (If you are icing everything in your home, then go right ahead).

WHITE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat 2 cups of unsalted butter on a medium-high speed (6-8 on a KitchenAid) for 2 minutes with a paddle attachment / stand mixer or a hand mixer. It should become lighter in color and look white once it's been whipped up.
• Mix in 1 Tbsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp salt on a low speed until incorporated.
• Gradually add in 7 cups of powdered sugar while mixing slowly on the lowest setting. Half way through add in 3 Tbsp of heavy cream to make it easier to mix. I like to place a kitchen towel over my mixer to help contain any powdered sugar clouds.
• Mix on low until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached.
• If the frosting is too thick, add in additional cream (1 Tbsp at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar (quarter of a cup at a time).
• If your buttercream isn't as white as you'd like at this point, you can mix in a tiny drop of purple gel food coloring or 1 tsp of titanium dioxide powder on a low speed to brighten it.

SUPER WHITE VANILLA BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Beat the butter in a stand mixer, using the balloon whisk attachment, or if using a hand-held mixer then beat the butter in a medium sized bowl. Beat on high for at least five minutes, scraping down the sides with a spatula every minute or so. The butter should be light, fluffy, and very very pale when it is whipped enough. Add the sifted icing sugar in three or four stages, beating for at least a minute in between additions. Once all the icing sugar has been beaten in, add between 2 and 4 tablespoons of milk or cream (depending on what consistency you need your frosting to be), as well as the vanilla extract and icing whitener, and mix well again.
