Wilton Copycat Buttercream Icing image

This icing is from Wilton, I did the cake decorating course last year and this was the recipe used. This basic recipe gives a stiff icing which is great for making roses and other flowers, but can be thinned down by adding a teaspoon of water at a time to get the consistency you need, for a medium icing for piping add an extra 1 teaspoon of water/milk. For a thin icing to put a base frosting on the cake, add 2 teaspoons of milk/water. I usually use a combination of almond and vanilla extract, and if you are maikng a pure white icing use a clear extract, Wilton do a range of these.

This icing is really good, but it's a bit too sweet for me. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my icing turned out grainy. I think I might have overbeaten it.

This icing is a little too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.

I had some trouble getting the icing to the right consistency. It was a bit too runny at first, but I was able to fix it by adding more powdered sugar.

This icing is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less sugar if you don't like your icing too sweet.
