My Favorite way to flavor Butter Cream Icing...

As many of you know I love to experiment and make up recipes. Here is one that was inspired by Kim A. my fellow wilton instructor, she uses flavored coffee creamers to add a punch to her icing. Here with a simple substition I use Toroni or Da Vinci flavored syrups to change the taste of my icing. The icing tastes wonderful and there are hundreds of flavors to choose from out there. Please remember that if you use a syrup that is colored, your icing will be the color of the syrup!

Flavored Butter Cream Icing Recipe

 

6 Tablespoons butter

4 ½ to 4 ¾ cups pure cane powdered (confectioners) sugar

1 Tbsp Meringue powder

2 Tbsp. milk

2 Tbsp. Toroni syrup (your choice of flavors)

1 ½ tsp vanilla

 

In a small bowl beat butter until light and fluffy, gradually add about half the powdered sugar and meringue powder mixing well. Add the milk and vanilla and mix. Then add remaining powdered sugar. If consistency is too thick add more milk & mix, if it is too thin add more powdered sugar and mix until you have the right consistency. This is equal in yield to 1 batch of the Wilton class butter cream icing.
