White Buttercream Icing Recipes

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).

Steps:

• Cream together in mixer water, flavorings, Crisco and butter.
• Add powdered sugar a cup at a time.
• Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add more water to thin or more powdered sugar to thicken.
• DO NOT add more creme bouquet flavoring if making a double batch.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix at slow speed until smooth. Add a few drops of water, if needed.;

Steps:

• Whisk the egg whites, sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) until the mixture is warm and the sugar dissolves. Remove the bowl from the pan; let cool slightly.
• Beat the egg white mixture in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or with a hand mixer) on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 12 to 15 minutes. Beat in the butter a few pieces at a time, then continue beating until smooth. (Don't worry if the mixture looks separated at first-it will come together as you keep beating.)

Steps:

• In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
• Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix at slow speed until smooth. If stiffer icing is needed, or if the weather is very warm, add a little extra sugar. This recipe is enough to cover and fill a 9- by 13-inch sheet cake or two 9-inch layers.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth.
• Gradually add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. If too thick to spread, beat in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the butter and confectioners sugar at low speed until fluffy.
• Add in melted and cooled white chocolate and whipping cream (start with 3 tablespoons and add in more to achieve desired consistency).
• Beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes, scraping the bowl with a spatula.

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups sugar, 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup corn syrup in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until candy thermometer registers 234 to 240 degrees F(soft ball stage).
• Meanwhile, using a heavy-duty electric mixer, beat 6 egg whites with 3/4 cup sugar in large bowl until soft peaks form. Beat in hot syrup in slow steady stream. Beat on medium speed until egg white mixture cools to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Cream 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons (4 1/2 sticks) butter in medium bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat into egg white mixture (mixture may appear curdled). Continue beating until smooth, light and fluffy.
• Place 2/3 pound chocolate in top of double broiler over barely simmering water. Turn off heat and stir until chocolate melts. Cool slightly. Using low speed, gradually beat chocolate into buttercream. Mix in 1 1/2 teasps vanilla. Transfer to large bowl.
• Repeat process 2 more times with remaining ingredients. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before beating slightly to restore mixture.).
• Makes enough to frost and decorate a 6", 9" and 12", three tier wedding cake.

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.

Steps:

• Combine water and Meringue Powder.
• Whip at high speed until peaks form.
• Add four cups sugar, one cup at a time, beating after eash addition at low speed.
• alternately add shortening and remainder of sugar.
• add salt and flavourings.
• beat at low speed until smooth.
