Ingredients

• 200g Real Butter

• 300g Icing Sugar

• 1tsp Vanilla Extract or a flavour of your choice

• 1tbsp Water

Method

• Beat the butter on high until light and fluffy, lurpack is one of my personal favourites and in my opinion makes it perfect for piping it also tends to be whiter than some other butters

• Add 300g of Icing Sugar (powdered Sugar) along with 1tsp of Vanilla Extract and 1Tbsp of water

• Beat on high until the mixture is completely combined, It is ready to use but you can store in a fridge in an air tight container.

When you want to use it again, simply allow it to reach room temperature first and beat on high until light and creamy.

This is perfect for piping and is now ready for you to pipe your beautiful cupcakes.
